During your programme
Learner support – You may, at some time, have a problem that is either work related or personal, which you feel you cannot discuss with your supervisor or MTC trainer/assessor or one of our dedicated apprenticeship co-ordinators. It often helps to talk it through with someone else. If you wish to discuss your problem in confidence, you may want to talk to one of our dedicated Support Team. With their experience of dealing with personal issues, our staff can help with any guidance you may need. When you speak to them, be assured, your discussions will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Assessors – During your engineering apprenticeship your company will be assigned a work place Assessor. The Assessor will be your main point of contact from MTC and will help support both you and your company in delivering a quality engineering apprenticeship. Your Assessor will visit you in your company on a regular basis to review your progress along with your company.
