Draughtsperson Review

I am learning machining, making my own tools in a mechanical workshop. By my second year, I will be using CAD to make engineering drawings.

I am now able to confidently use different types of machines and go through a job from drawing to completion.

I am very happy I got this apprenticeship and enjoy work day to day.

It's the first year they're running this so not everything is completely planned but I understand what and where I could be working.

There are monthly pastoral meetings and the staff are very friendly and open to questions.

There is a workplace assessor that visits us once a month with questions, they listen to any criticism about our lessons but it takes a long time for action.

I'm a draughtsperson but I'm doing a diploma in machining, some of the skills will be transferable later on but by the time I get taught a skill in college its likely I've already done it at work.

There are some but I haven't looked further into it.

Yes

It is a well established company so there is lots of opportunities and support.

Be aware of the security checks.
