Multi-skilled vehicle mechanical/electrical apprentice Review

Hands on training supervised by a mentor. We help with whatever job they might be doing or what vehicle there working on so we get varied knowledge on all the platforms at work. we also attend college one day a week for our theory.

I have learnt loads of hand skills and using hand tools. I have also expanded my knowledge on motor vehicles. we was also put forward for our aircon course and many other thing involved in the industry.

I find it great to be able to get hands on training as well as expanding the theory side of it, its a good balance as well as getting paid doing it all. it was also good to meet new people and make new friends.

The programme overall was good and got you from A-B but over the three years there was some places that could be improved like in general the overall structure as in some places it fell apart and didn't seem organised at some parts.

we had all the support we needed. if we ever had a problem we always had someone we could talk to or if we needed something there was always someone to help out.

we had all the support we needed they would always chase something up if we had problems and they were the ones that organised all our training and tests.

It helps by expanding my knowledge on the industry and that helps me to do a better job at work and even out side of work. without it I wouldn't be were I'm at today.

We had plenty for events like around Christmas we would all get together for a meal paid for by work.

Yes

If they was interested in becoming a mechanic and getting into this industry its a great balance between learning and hands on as well as getting paid a decent wage as well. also it can overall provide the right knowledge and skills needed.

Push for as much extra training you can get, vehicle guiding, Crain courses anything they offer definitely take them.
