technician Review

apprentice technician, repairing and maintaining HGV and helping fully qualified technicians around the workshop. In the morning follow apprentice worksheet which consist of checking all workshop equipment, emptying bins into correct places, checking fuel level and soap levels of jet wash and cleaning around the workshop. After this we are then paired with a fully qualified technician whom guides us through the work they are doing for the rest of the day.,

Yes I have learned how to inspect a HGV and how to perform a break test for trailers. I have also learned how to check oil levels and break lights on company vans. I then was told how to grease the fifth wheel correctly and where to locate the grease underneath the truck.

I really enjoy the programme I am on as I feel that I am learning a lot whilst being paired with technicians and with other apprentices teaching me the daily routines and I realise how important they are. I also enjoy it because I know that at the end of my apprenticeship I will be a fully qualified technician.

I feel that the programme I am on is very well structured as it is helping me learn a lot and preparing me for when I am fully qualified. I also feel that going to a good college is an important part of an apprenticeship and this course has just that.

I receive a lot of support from my employer as they have made sure that I know all company regulations and helped me understand a lot about my apprenticeship. I have only been here 4 days and I have already had 2 catch up talks which I feel were very supportive.

I have received a substantial amount of support from my training provider skillnet in the time I have been here as I have only started 4 days ago. Before my start date I was informed of what my apprenticeship will consist of which I found very helpful and the fact that I have to keep a work diary reinforces what I have just learned that day.

I feel that my qualification is helping me perform much better than I would be if I was not going towards one as it gives me something to aim towards and work harder for. the fact that I will be a fully qualified technician at the end of my apprenticeship really motivates me.

Not that I know of so far but I have only been here a few days so I am sure that I will be involved in some sort of extra curricular actives throughout the rest of my apprenticeship

Yes

I feel that imperial commercial is a great company to work for as it has a good structured apprenticeship scheme and the work relationships I have here are good. I also feel that they are very helpful throughout your apprenticeship and help you wherever possible and it has a good wage and holidays

I would tell others to be the best version of yourself and to always strive to develop your career within the company as it is a good company to work for
