  • Little to no structure due to lack of training advisors one man can not do everything for 117 people.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • 1 Training advisor for 117 apprentices is absolutely ridiculous. Needs to have atleast 4 one for each apprentice year group. Support from my training advisors superior seems non existent.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

  • Do a BTEC level 3 in engineering beforehand, you will be a new recruit to the golden apprentice family, and also you wont have to struggle through the college training provided by BMET.
