Engineer apprentice Review

Currently studying at the training provider working 8:30-5 studying for A license modules. Currently in the workshop phase creating pieces to be assessed. Classroom phase in preparation for a license exams includes learning the notes and completing relevant tasks and revising for multiple choice exams and essays for some modules

I have learnt new skills and developed previous skills. Mainly learning new skills in the workshop working with metal and fasteners and understand how to work with it and how it's used on aircraft. Riveting especially is new skill as it requires skill and is an essential part of aircraft.

I thoroughly enjoy the programme it gives me new skills that I will soon be able to implement in the workplace and hopefully develop further to achieve my a license. The training provider is brilliant proving high quality facilities and instructors with lots of knowledge and experience. There's a lot of variety as well as taking part in work experience in the hangers throughout the programme.

I feel the organisation could be a lot better as there is a growing number of people and several companies so a lot of people can get messy and confusing and knowing where people just be for work placements and dates can be very last minute which can cause stress. It is structured well with a break from classrooms for workshop then work placement so we can develop our skills and show them in the workplace

I receive a good amount of support but I feel it could be more however the training provider gives apprentices support as well which is good as anything can be dealt with here and very quickly instead of waiting for employers to come. The communication of issues between the employer and provider could however be better

The training provider gives us goof amount of support for all different issues and is very quick to deal with anything and report to employers if necessary. Also meeting the provider prior to starting was brilliant as we could discuss support and any extra needs that may be required during the learning time.

Having an A license in the industry when working in a busy hanger is quite essential as it can speed up processes and also provide a much better environment for safety with Knowledgable people around you to ensure everything is correct. It will also give better opportunities to further my career to different more advanced licenses

Currently no extra curricular activities provided by the training provider or employer but we find events to go to and find ways to socialise without this but it would be good for team building and teamwork which is a huge part of our job an s developing those skills are essential

Yes

It is a huge company but it's ethos and values are fantastic and the service delivered is world class. Some things in the company could be better but everyone is so friendly I have met the nicest and most professional people and the staff are very dedicated to what they do which shows.
