Electrical fitter Review

As an apprentice electrical fitter at Babcock, I have been taken into the facilites section so my normal working day would entail replacing lights and fixing anything electrical that has been broken or needs repairs on the site.

In my position, I have learned a lot more on how the electrical systems work and how to read them on a drawing. I have also gotten a lot better at communicating with my colleges and fellow apprentices.

I think that the apprenticeship programme is well structured and allows me to learn a lot more about my field of work, while picking up a qualification for it.

I think the programme is extremely well structured as I will spend one year full-time in college then one year full-time on-site. I feel like this allows me to put all my focus in one area at a time and put in maximum effort in each of these fields.

I receive a lot of support from my employer and I am always kept in the loop by receiving daily emails and by attending the monthly meetings that are scheduled for company updates.

I receive a lot of support from my training provider when working towards my qualifications as I am in multiple teams so that I can get all of the class work. If I am struggling, you can ask a question and the training provider will help you out or another class mate.

I feel like my training from my training provider helps me in my role as when I am learning about how to make certain items, I am also told how to read the diagrams which help me understand the circuits when I go on-site in my role.

No.

Yes

I would recommend this company to a friend as you come out the end of the apprenticeship with a good qualification and a very good understanding of your role. I also feel like Babcock is a good company as you are constantly updated and if you need help, you always feel like you can ask.

I would recommend that you stay in school and receive good qualifications and then when it comes to the interview, stay confident and calm.
