Just accepted into Mechatronics Apprenticeship UK
Hi, I've just received a formal offer for the Mechatronics Apprenticeship in the UK.
Essentially, I'm just wondering about a few things to expect:
- I've been given three locations that are potential for my first training year, is this normal, and how soon would I found out where I'm actually living from September? haha.
- I have a friend visiting from abroad in October, and would like time off to see them, is this going to be an issue? I'll be informing them beforehand anyway.
- Also what's the accom. like in Bolton and Newcastle if anyone's trained there?
- What are typical shift patterns like once on-site? I'm imagining it's site dependent. It'll be at what I'm told is a very 'cutting-edge' fulfilment center if that helps.
- I've been placed at a site that's pretty far away from my main choices, but I half expected this. Just wondering whether transfers are possible or requests, but I'd imagine this is only after qualifying?
Thanks alot, I'm excited to have been accepted but just getting a mental picture before what's quite a big life change!
