Apprentice Mechanical Fitter Review

The Mechanical Fitter role involves working from engineering drawings, data and documentation in order to undertake the manufacture, installation, testing, commissioning, fault diagnosis, maintenance, overhaul and removal of mechanical and fluid power equipment on ships and submarines involved in commercial shipping. This can include propulsion machinery, weapons, reactor and auxiliary systems (such as water, air conditioning and power generation).

I have learned how to strip an engine and successfully put it back together. I have further developed my skills in reading measuring equipment.

I really enjoy my apprenticeship, unfortunately the pandemic has us working from home at the moment, but I cannot wait to get back!!!

The organisation and structure of my apprenticeship programme has all be very good so far.

I receive support from my employer as and when needed they are always ready to help.

There is plenty of support from my training provider especially when it comes to exams and qualifications.

I think the qualifications I gain along the way of my apprenticeship are very fitting for the apprenticeship they are all relevant and helpful for my future.

There are gyms to visit and in the past there have been football teams and stuff, however with the current pandemic that's been a bit more difficult.

Yes

They are a really good company to work for, they supply you with all the necessary training and skills required for you to be able to complete you job.

Showing willing and confidence!
