I have been an Apprentice GSE Technician at TCR since 2016 and would recommend anyone looking into a mechanical engineering Apprenticeship to see what TCR have to offer. So far I am on track to finish my Level 3 by the end of 2019. The mix of classroom and workshop practical experience is a good balance. You will need to work hard to complete the assessments, but it is satisfying to know how far you have come and get to achieve a qualification at the end of it.
