  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I like the hands on side of the apprenticeship and being able to transfer these skills to my existing learning. This also contributes to tackling on site challenges which has given me the skills to make better decisions.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • At first it seemed that it was a little disorganised, as this was a new apprenticeship scheme for high output. We started a few months later than the students in our year, but the college accommodated this and helped us to catch up.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Its quiet hard to answer this as im split between operations and Maintenance. My current full time roll is within operations, but the apprenticeship is heavily maintenance based, and this can sometimes cause conflict between both departments as well as putting pressure on myself.
