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

My role is an apprentice technician. My role on a day to day basis is to help other techs with jobs and carry out jobs of my own wether it be a service, defects, diagnosis or breakdowns. Other things are keeping a tidy workshop and yard making sure it's safe and a relatively clean environment

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have improved many skills from basic hands on experience to full in depth diagnosis work with methodical ways and techniques to ensure a first time fix. I have also developed skills on how to keep myself, drivers and vehicles safe when attending roadside breakdowns/ recovery jobs especially at night time

The organisation of the hands on side of work is good, the flow of jobs and variety of jobs is smooth. The theory side at college isn't so well, the organisation to be at college is good but when actually attending college there could be some improvements made with equipment and the structure

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

I feel the training provider doesn't massively support my role as a tech because all of my work is hands on and I personally don't learn well from reading and looking at paperwork. If there was a little bit more hands on from the training provider
