Advanced Appreticeship Engineering Technician Review

I take part in 4 month placements around my workplace to complete engineering technician roles. This allows a taste of each placement and what is involved. This involves tasks of completing documentation/ drawings/ programming.

I learn new skills everyday as there is so much to take in. There is opportunity to learn everyday as each apprentice is placed with a qualified technician who will show you everything you would like to know.

I enjoy most days, it can be not enjoyable at times when there is no work ready to be passed to you as my placement are too busy.

My programme is very well structured and organised in everything that we do, this is vital as there is not a lot of room for error and employees are busy a lot of the time. This si good training for when we are qualified

Lots of support is on offer if you need it and also I get asked a lot when I see my mentor . There is also support sessions that people can take place in if this suits.

My training provider are normally good but I do not like the style of learning at the college. If help is needed you can always get this from them.

Not at all, my college qualification has no current relation to my role as there are so specific. Engineering project gives me an idea of how carrying out projects will be, but this has no current relation to my role.

There are loads of opportunities to join activities, these are well displayed round the site and on email so that they are not missed.

Yes

There are loads of benefits and also you become an well qualified engineering technician with loads of skills and qualifications that are all paid for. It is a good salary when I will have finished my apprenticeship and I can easily move to another company if I wanted.

I would recommend to be organised, well presented, have ambition and to like a challenge.
