Higher electrical apprentice Review

Currently I look after the daily/weekly/monthly maintenance for the warships in upkeep, this requires checking and allocating jobs. Then updating the system where they are stored.

I have learnt the Navy's maintenance system and developed on my organisational abilities

It ok, covid may of hindered the experience and I do not think I have had the most challenging placements they could of given me. I have thoroughly enjoyed networking and learning about systems and procedures.

The qualifications are structured and so is the pay system. Though in the area I have chosen to be in there isn't a clear plan and I do not know where I will end once the apprenticeship is over

I think they give a great deal of support in all different ways. In comparison to all employers I have had before they are the best

For the degree part it could be better as the teaching is challenging. From the NVQ my ADM and my managers they are very supportive

I haven't really used anything from the foundation degree in my role

I'm not sure about social, but there are plenty of networking opportunities. APT group, Newsletter group, Health and Wellbeing, the different networks and so on....

Yes

I think there is plenty of opportunity, they give training and have great support systems in place. Also the pay is good for Plymouth and depending on what you want to do it will set you up for a good career

If you want something then push and put yourself out there, its not just going to be handed to you. You're not going to like every placement, but go with it and in the future maybe you will be the one to improve things
