Pros

Really good mentors Really good college Really good experience in diagnosing vehicles

Cons

First year pay but understandable as it is an apprenticeship Don't get taught how to actually fix vehicles due to SMR being prominent but at least the diagnosing will be really good.

Thanks for your review - It’s really encouraging to hear how positive your apprenticeship experience has been so far, particularly the support from your mentors, the quality of the college training, and the opportunity to develop strong diagnostic skills. Those foundations are a key part of the programme and set apprentices up well for the future. We also appreciate your balanced and honest feedback. Apprenticeship pay in the first year reflects the learning focus of the role, and while our SMR model means repair work can be limited, the diagnostic experience you’re gaining is invaluable as you progress. Your insight helps us keep reviewing how learning opportunities are delivered across the programme. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for your kind words - it’s great to have you on the journey with us.
