Yes, Mainly in the area of toolwork, handskills, mathematical ability and many other areas.
I enjoy my job and the work is both captivating and encourages problem solving, the apprenticeship scheme is good but mentally challenging
As valued as one would expect in a large company, when work is done well you get a decent appreciation.
Very well organised, However the online system for handing in work called onefile is a complicated website.
A reasonable amount, if you ask questions they are answered concisely and politely, i had trouble with mathematics on the course and raised concerns, i was given support with the learning
enough support as is necessary
Due to the high costs in the South East of England the salary is slightly compromising however it is still a reasonable amount.
Yes
