Changing electric and gas meters. Fixing faults.
I have learnt lots of new skills but feel the training was rushed and some aspects were not indepth.
I enjoyed the hands on learning. The training centre felt unorganised. There was alot of time spent doing nothing, then rushing to catch up.
On paper it seemed well structured but it often changed last minute. We changed trainers numerous times and they were often not given any information on what we were doing.
Managers are often hard to get through to. I have let people know of my concerns and have been told changes are being made.
Trainers tried there best to help apprentices if they needed support.
I would not have the knowledge required to perform in my role.
Not that I am aware of.
No
Lots of aspects of the job were not explained during the training. The amount of overtime employees are expected to work. The speed in which jobs need to be completed. How to use the company tablet to complete jobs.
The first several months of working on your own will be difficult. It can be stressful and overtime is not optional.
