  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Working at the power station has developed many skills mainly people skills working with a variety of roles. I have learnt how to take tasks at hand and complete them to the best of my ability. this has also helped me outside of work as i use the same ethic.

  • i receive a good amount of support from my employer, he has helped me learn the role. he has also put a lot of time into developing me in to the roll. this means that i can come out of my apprenticeship already knowing what i am doing. he also helps me with all work related problems i have and gives me praise if i am doing well.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • My training provider [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] has been amazing from the start, he has made the course very enjoyable over the past 16 months. he is always emailing and asking me how i am doing with the course and general life. He has also been great with providing constructive criticism with work that i have struggled with.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • My qualification hasn't really helped with my role as it is very hands on and personally from my experiences i have learnt everything i know about my role from doing these jobs repeatedly. It has helped me getting in with a great organisation that i would like to have a full lengthy career with.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There are no extra-curricular activities that I am involved in through work outside of work. Our business used to have activies e.g. foot ball and boat racing but this has stopped. i see a few people from my site out side of work but there are no activities for us to participate in.

  • 9b. Why?
  • It is a great company full of interesting people who will help develop you more every day. it is also a great opportunity for people to have a full career and to develop themselves into better people. it has been a real turning point for me and i would like for all of my friends to have the same opportunities.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EDF?
  • Make sure you have a very strong CV and show that you are willing to work hard and well with others. the best thing to do is be yourself and stand out as in this organisation this really helps you shine above the rest. being different in this organisation is a good thing as we are promoting diversity.
