Rating

7.1/10
  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • In this role I generally practise electronic technician skills whilst attending a university centre once a week. It should be noted that this is not representative of the entire apprenticeship as after around 18 months site placements start which can offer interesting opportunities to learn engineering skills.

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

    • Electronic technician skills and electronic engineering theory

    • Yes

    • It is a good company to work at however there are also large disparities that exist between certain different apprenticeships of the same level.

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

    • Research the company beforehand to learn about its four core values and the different aspects of the business (e.g. forensic seismology)
