Apprentice Review

Welding on a Monday, Tuesday and half day Thursday with the rest of the week filling out paperwork or classwork including maths, science, health and safety and general welding theory

Yes, I came into the apprenticeship knowing nothing about welding and now know enough to pass welding tests, however it feels like we are left to learn most of it by ourselves rather than being taught it

It's better than previous jobs, but it feels like there is a lack of communication within the college

Not very. There have been multiple times where we have found out that we should have already completed work that we did not know about

They do try and support through online classes, but I feel like the support is mis-placed

Quite a lot in the classroom, but less in the workshop

Without the qualification, I would not be able to do my job

no

Yes

Overall, Babcock is a decent company to work for

do your best
