Aeronautical Engineer Review

my role on a day to day basis generally consist of mainly computer based work using word and excel. a lot of the work I do involves handling and creating data as well as handling work query's. I also find time in the day to complete NVQ work which is the on the job training.

I have learned many new skills working here. skills I have learned include social skills , computer skills and general hands on skills such at machining and fitting skills. I have also increased my skills in speaking in front of a lot of people in presentations as I used t9o find this very challenging.

I enjoy the programme I am on very much. the work I do is always in the optimum zone of functioning. this means the work is not so hard I get stuck at every corner but challenging enough to grow my skills and increase my confidence in any task I am undergoing.

i find to programme is very structured. the work balance is very suitable and gives you a lot of opportunity to complete the work you need to do on time. this work includes college work, work for your placement and NVQ work. there is also a lot of support in place if you need it.

as stated above there is a lot of support. all the apprentices have a team if apprentice supervisors that help you along the way when needed. they provide support for college work NVQ work and placement work. as well as support your mental and physical wellbeing. and encourage us to speak to them if we need them.

HETA provide an adequate amount of support, we have many ways to contact them when were no at college if we have any questions about are assignments. as well as providing a good quality of teaching to help us pass all the units within all our assignments. all tutors are helpful and friendly.

i feel it is very dependant on what department you are in as to weather the qualification provided by our training provider do help us. many of the mechanical aspects have come in hands in departments and have used skill I have picked up to aid me in certain jobs I have being doing.

there are many extra curricular activities that are provided by BAE that offer many ways to get involved in social activity. this include site walks football teams and many others. they all help you to achieve a good social and work life balance as well as building better relationships with your colleges.
