Maintenance Engineer Review

My role on a day to day requires fixing, fitting, assembling, machining and maintaining machinery, whilst under going training and a qualification with Derby College.

I have learnt many new skills, which has given me the confidence to undertake these skills within my own home.

I enjoy it, however it is extremely challenging I feel too much is compacted into each year and the work load becomes unmanageable if you want to achieve the highest grades.

Not very, always being given work which doesn't align to our program. Also training providers are not organised, to the point where we have 6 days notice before an exam.

I feel like there isn't much support on offer, there's no one you can turn to if you have a problem, and people like ADL's have too much on there plate to worry about you as an indivdual.

Absolutely none. Your qualification comes down to how much you teach yourself from the internet. You can ask for help but it is never provided as class sizes are too big.

It helps me understand the theoretical side.

I would hope there would be more as there is rugby and football for boys.

No

It is extremally challenging, too much is crammed into a year. There isn't enough support for your questions and problems. Facility's for girls are lacking in the business.

Make sure your ready to work hard from the first minute. If you have ALS then this isn't supported at its best, it could be better accommodated.
