Work within a department that ensures the quality control of the interior trim center (anything covered in fabric) This involves reviewing common issues and working as a team to develop a solution. We also look at our production process, and always try to improve to allow for less quality issues arising.
As a quality specialist at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, I have had the opportunity to learn and develop valuable skills during my time at the Interior Trim Centre. Over the past eight months, I have honed my attention to detail, developed a keen eye for identifying and resolving issues, learned how to communicate effectively with colleagues and customers, and gained knowledge about the automotive industry and the luxury car market. These new skills have helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I look forward to showcasing them in my Rate My Apprenticeship review.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my apprenticeship as a quality specialist at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The opportunity to work at the Interior Trim Centre has allowed me to gain invaluable experience, develop new skills and work with a supportive team. The work environment is stimulating and challenging, which has kept me motivated and engaged throughout my time here. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
Overall, I feel that my apprenticeship at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was well-organized. The company has a clear structure in place for apprenticeships and provided me with the necessary support and guidance throughout my time at the Interior Trim Centre. I was given a detailed induction and clear objectives, which helped me to focus on my development and achieve my goals now. However, at the beginning of the apprenticeship it was mismatched and slightly disorganised. But this is only because it was the first year they have had such a large cohort and the first year they have had a three month induction course at college so I am sure it will only get better.
Throughout my apprenticeship, I have received excellent support from my employer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The company has a clear structure in place for apprenticeships, which has enabled me to receive regular feedback and guidance from my supervisor. I have felt valued and supported by my colleagues, who have provided me with encouragement and assistance whenever needed. As a result, I have been able to progress in my role and develop new skills.
I attend the university of Chichester two days a week alongside my job at Rolls-Royce motor cars. I feel there is room for improvement. The lecturers are not up to scratch and the organisation leaves alot to be desired. But it is a paid degree and I can not complain.
My qualification through my training provider has helped me to perform my role more effectively as a quality specialist at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. The knowledge and skills that I have gained through my training have enabled me to apply best practices in quality assurance and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the qualification has given me a greater understanding of the automotive industry, which has allowed me to work more efficiently and confidently within my role. The support provided by my training provider has been instrumental in helping me to achieve my goals and progress in my career.
At Rolls-Royce motor cars there are tons of things to get involved in. For example there is a football team who play within themselves every Friday. There are charity bake offs which everyone can get involved in. Within our teams there are evenings out such as curry nights or escape rooms.
