Machinist Review

Basically we started off going to derby everyday doing college at the LDC and we would complete our NVQ in the workshop which had many machines for us to gain experience on. This varied from hand tools to CNC milling machines.

I've learnt a lot of skills. This including taking your time to get the best result. I've learn skills of managing my own mental health such as not getting worked up when things are stressful.

I enjoy being in the business. I enjoy the fact that there's plenty of very knowledgeable people and they are great to have a laugh with.

The structure to the apprenticeship could be improved massively. For the second year of my apprenticeship, we are supposed to have gotten nvq assessors in which I and a few others havent been assigned one. Within the apprenticeship alot of things change during your time for example you could be told there's a meeting and when you get there you find out it's been cancelled.

I could not fault rolls royce when it comes to support. I got a free diagnosis for a learning disability which I've heard costs rolls royce around £400. I was given more support with rolls royce than I was given at school!

Half and half, they give me 25% extra time with exams and assessments. The tutors are fantastic set of people, however throughout my time I've noticed 4 tutor changes as in tutors leaving.

They teach us very knowledgeable information in which they tell you stories and give a personal approach which in turn gets us all to listen.

I don't get involved however I've heard there are things such as stem projects and world skills

Yes

100% rolls royce pay well, the experience is out of this world and you gain a world class qualification. You bypass the negatives in the company because of all this.

Organisation. Structure.
