1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

As a ground operations apprentice I am currently doing loading, as I am only short-haul trained I am based in terminal 5 and load and offload A320 family aircraft

4/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I feel I've learnt new skills, I have a better understanding of the day to day operations of an airline

4/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the actual shifts and I feel like part of the team, but I don't really enjoy the coursework side of it I feel it's dragging on and it's getting quite repetitive. I feel I'm a bit behind and not getting the help I need as I feel it would be more helpful if the seetec tutors came in to give me a hand if I get stuck as at the moment we have to do it virtually and drop them an email if we need anything.

4/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

I feel its not very well structured, I feel it would have been better if seetec had planned the apprenticeship better. The original layout seemed pretty well planned out but because of the multiple change of tutors it's messed up the programme. We have had 5 or 6 different tutors and only 3 actually came in to assist us the rest have been virtual

2/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I feel British Airways have supported us the best they can, being a massive company I don't think they can physically support us individually but i feel like part of the team and get treated like one of the team by the other employees and I'm quite happy with that

6/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I feel they don't support me as much as they could, they have been in contact more recently as it's getting close to our EPA although the apprenticeship has already been extended by 6 months due to a delay in training so the apprenticeship technically finished last month

4/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I feel the qualification has helped in the sense that this apprenticeship has helped get my foot in the door of the industry I want to work in.

5/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There's sometimes fundraising events for their charities and they send out emails sometimes for support with events. I've done a couple of events advertising jobs at BA

5/10

9a. Would you recommend Seetec to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I feel its a good way of getting your foot in the door for an aviation role and you can get the qualifications and skills you need for the job on the job

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Seetec?

Try your best, work hard and have fun
