1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Travelling to different sites, from hospitals to vets to maintain, install and repair x-ray machines and equipment. I usually work with my mentor and learn on the job around the north west. It is really fun meeting new people and going to different places everyday.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I receive support with my qualifications and i also can get every time if needed to complete work however this isnt needed as i get more than enough time. I have also been offered to further my qualifications with Siemens which is amazing.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

My qualifications help me better in my role because with Stegta being an engineering training provider, they help you get the training and experience in at the training centre which puts you a step ahead before getting out in the field.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We have loads of social events to attend to in the summer and winter. We bond with the engineering team and other apprentices at forums and were even doing a fundraising event by climbing Helvellyn in the dark which is cool!
