    4/5

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • saw some important projects out from start to finish, having been trusted with all the measuring, design and ordering. I had plenty of support throughout and could ask as many questions as I wanted, but It was definitely my project and was left to it.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • all was very relevant, having covered some of the same things at university, this meant I was getting to practice the theory id learnt in a work environment. I can honestly say it helps to have the theoretical knowledge and having applied it as well.
