On the average day we run and wire cable into components within naval ships and learn to do so in a safe and mindful manner, we are also trained to the 18th edition and we wire things according to regulations stated in the rules associated with this course and the teachings I have learned in college.
I have learned to wire and run cables according to the 18th edition and have learned many testing and evaluation procedures within college that will allow me to install and check my own work to make sure that the work I am putting in place are up to acceptable standards.
I have enjoyed the program very much and have gained valuable experiences in college and in and about the work place that will help towards me obtaining a completion of my apprenticeship.
I think the structure of the apprenticeship scheme is good but like everything it could use more structure, more information about what is happening inside the yard and what we will be doing once 2e enter the yard would ne nice but overall the structure is very good and is suitable for what it needs to be.
I recieve more than adequate support for my employer in any and all matters that I have brought up to them. I have also have lots of talks with many different department of the business lettinhnme know who I should talk to if I am in nee of a specific type of support.
The college and BAE Systems are both constantly checking up on our progress and how we are getting on with out academic work and how we are progressing towards completion of the basic requirements of our apprenticeship.
I feel that my qualifications are helping me to achieve what I nee to in order to progress with my role and in doing so I hope to learn more about other parts of the business and become overall more experienced in my role and have an understanding of the roles of those around me.
