It has been fantastic! The tutors at Rebus  are all very knowledgeable, offering help and support throughout my training. I am also very appreciative to my employers at Kier who have supported me to complete my apprenticeship.

What advice would you give to other females considering starting an electrical apprenticeship?

I would recommend that any other females looking to join the electrical industry don’t hesitate and just go for it. If you don’t mind putting the effort in and enjoy being active it’s definitely the job for you!

Now that you have completed your apprenticeship what are your next steps?

I am looking forward to progressing in my role at Kier and building upon the experience that I have gained so far within the trade. I have also recently passed my 2391 Electrical Inspection and Testing qualification at Rebus.

How did you get started with your electrical apprenticeship at Rebus?

The team at Rebus were really supportive right from the start, I was given guidance on applying for jobs and on how to best write a personal statement and create a CV. Rebus kept me up to date with job vacancies and through them I applied for and secured my apprenticeship with Midlands Power Networks. Rebus were keen to understand the kind of role I was looking for and put me in touch with an employer that could help me achieve my career aspirations.

What have been the positives about completing your apprenticeship at Rebus?

Rebus Training are a specialist electrical training provider, they are experts in what they do. The staff and tutors at Rebus are extremely helpful, they have a wealth of knowledge and skills that they have gained from many years working within the electrical industry allowing them to provide real life examples to the theory we learn in the classroom.

How has your progress throughout your apprenticeship been tracked?

We have regular progress reviews throughout the apprenticeship with our Rebus Liaison officer and supervisor at work. The reviews provide opportunity to understand what is going well both at college and on site and areas where additional support may be needed.

The training we receive a Rebus is a good balance of theory based learning in the classroom and developing practical skills in the workshop which we can then apply on site.
