I’m assigned jobs at various hospitals where I help and learn from experienced engineers. I attend college once a week for my qualifications.
I’m constantly developing my skills as an engineer. This largely includes troubleshooting and working with tools. I’m learning about highly advanced medical imaging machines, and how to service them and fix common faults.
I’ve enjoyed the apprenticeship a lot. The jobs are always interesting and the engineers are great to work with. I have lots of support from the managers, engineers, and other apprentices.
It introduced me into the company in a stress free way. I spent the first year mostly at college, only going out on site with an engineer. In the later years I was given a van to drive to the site alone and I only attended college once a week.
I have lots of support from the engineers, managers, and other apprentices. I have several people I can ask for help with any problems I have.
My training provider gives lots of support and feedback on the work I’m doing for my qualifications.
Lots of the work I do for my qualification ties into the work I’m doing on site. I can draw on the knowledge from my qualifications and apply it to the jobs I’m on.
There are regular social events and forums. It’s a great time to meet/catch up with the engineers, managers, and other apprentices. An example of this is when we meet for a forum we have a meal and activity, such as bowling, after.

It’s a really interesting field to work in and the apprenticeship is a great way to prepare yourself for it. You get to meet the team and gain knowledge/experience over the 4 years.
If you’re interested in engineering and don’t like seeing the same place/things every day you should definitely apply.
