  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well structured, I know what days i'm on a workshop and I usually get training a week prior to when I go to. Its a nice balance off being on the tools and home/in training school learning.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I would say this is the only issue with the apprenticeship, I feel the buddying period is too small as for the training you're 9 times out of 10 stuck in a classroom and its not in a realistic world.

  • I am yet to know about these yet however Im sure there are. Im usually either playing football or at home gaming on my PC
