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

Making sure the workshop is clean and tidy, I observe my colleagues and I get to carry out tasks whilst my colleagues give me instructions. I move vehicles around the yard and into the workshop and I also work with the parts department when we need parts for a job

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I think the programme is very organised, which I really appreciate! we have a web-based system which tracks my progress so I always know what tasks I have to do next and how far along my qualification I am. I also like the regular contact I have with my assessor as I know I'm never on my own if I get stuck

Lots of support off the training provider with plenty of support documents and also we were given contacts at the start of the programme which means I know who to go to if I ever need help.

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

We are told how to do things the 'proper way' which means I am carrying out tasks in the workplace safely which means my colleagues trust me to carry out jobs safely
