  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Currently it is the foundation year so it is introducing us to the basics so that we are able to build on this knowledge for the coming years. we have both practical and theory work, with assignments.

    10/10

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt loads of new skills and been able to apply them in the workshop. A lot of the theory work is such as maths and science is GCSE level so its not necessarily challenging, however it is good to have a refresher.

  • I really enjoy it!!

    10/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Certain aspects are incredibly well structured, however a certain teacher is extremely underprepared and is struggling to get to grips with the program. It has been difficult with covid interruptions but overall it is decent.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • As it is only foundation year, Leonardo haven't really been in touch all that often, but the apprenticeship manager would definitely respond to any emails promptly when we do need to contact him.
