level 3 engineering and manufacturing apprentice Review

following and shadowing maintenance around in order to learn the type of faults that occur on the daily. completing PM'S attending breakdowns as well as any type of gemba to run through the faults that also happened the day before. now and then were given projects to complete which are also good

i have learn many new skills whilst being on this apprenticeship. some of these skills are such as lathing, milling, welding, pneumatics, etc. additionally my skills with hand tools have gotten better as i use them every day. all of those listed i had never done before and im now fairly confident in doing them

i fairly enjoy the programme here as it gives me many opportunities to learn new skills which can be practically put in to use in my day to day life in the paintshop as well as other areas. i think its competitive to other apprenticeships and im glad im here.

i think that the apprenticeship is fairly well organised. however there have been at times where it hasnt been as much but that is due to the fact we would go through change for the better which cant always be done at an instant. in the end its all for our benefit

i receive as much support as i need. all my managers offer and ask regularly which is good to know in case i do need something / support. in the end they want the best for us so it would make sense that if we did have a problem it would be resolved.

i receive as much support as i need working towards my qualifications. whenever i have a question or a few they will always get answered with a very good explanation to ensure that i understand it fully which means i can then continue working well and progressing with the qualifications

i find my qualification, applies a fair amount during my time out in the plant. there will be times where they don't always apply but thats just how the day goes. each day being different helps keep me learning new things so i can perform well when out of my time

there are a few extra curricular activities but i dont participate in any of those myself i prefer to do my own thing at home and chill out. i always get an email if there is anything new that comes up so there is always opportunity to take part in something

Yes

its a good apprenticeship with a competitive wage, helps you build basic skills within engineering and further develops you as the 4 year apprenticeship goes on. also once you qualify the wage is better and seems like you are given more responsibility and incorporated in to the maintenance team daily

i would say to make sure you apply early. have a prokect yovue done ready for the interview stage if you get to that part. if engineering is something you have a passion for especially in maintenance then this is definitely a place you should be applying for i think its one of the best
