I am a time served mechanical engineering craft apprentice who is a qualified Teacher and have a Degree in Education with an engineering and design technology background.

25+ years experience working with young adults who are studying design technology & engineering courses for GCSE's, A-Levels, Btec's, Engineering apprenticeship frameworks and standards.

With a proven track record of success in assisting learners to achieve their qualification through my classroom based theoretical and workshop based practical involvement. The Tutor Assessor role allows me to visit apprentices on site at their work to deliver NVQ's. This has developed into a Support Coach role for Apprenticeship standards. In this role I dealt with 40 companies ranging from small medium enterprises as well as larger companies in the field of fabrication and welding, machining, maintenance and design.

I am a flexible person who can engage at all levels and have demonstrated this by previous roles held as a Technician, Instructor, Trainer, Teacher, Tutor, Assessor, Machinist.

Trainer Assessor/Skills Coach in Mechanical Engineering

Stoke on Trent College

September 2006 - Present

During 2010 to present date, I am a Trainer Assessor/Skills Coach in Mechanical Engineering.

This role involves me as a single point of contact for employers working with them to resolve issues and support the apprentice through their apprenticeship framework and standards at level 2 and level 3.  

Since 2019 my role has developed further to also manage apprentices who are on ST0154 MOET – Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician Standard (Electromechanical Technician pathway).

I have also managed apprentices at level 2 and level 3 within fabrication and welding, engineering maintenance and machining.

During my employment prior to 2010, I have been mainly assessing with some teaching duties which have changed on a yearly basis to cope with apprenticeship demands. April 2008, I taught fifty percent of time and the remainder assessing. For my assessing role, I look after a caseload of apprentices 16 to 24 years old completing apprenticeship frameworks to level 3. Initially for the first 15 months of my employment, I had supported mainly fabrication and welding apprentices who were studying a modern apprenticeship as well as adults studying NVQ level 3 in mechanical engineering in their company. This has now become fully dedicated to mechanical engineering apprentices and adult students.

My teaching role has involved me delivering courses to 14-16 year olds and post 16 age group. The courses I have taught are as follows;

1)     Performing Engineering Operations ( Milling, Turning, Fitting, Computer Aided Design,
          Materials, Quality, Health & Safety )– Full Time and Part Time students.

2)  Level 3 2800 Advanced apprentices – Manufacturing Engineering Principles, Computer
           Numerical Control, Working effectively and safely in an engineering environment

Product Design Technician Instructor

City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College

November 1993 - September 2006

I had worked in the product design department initially as a design technology technician. This involved working for Geography and drama department to assist in the production of teaching aids for both departments.

After three years the role later became a trainer, instructor / technician, which was dedicated to the product design department. This role involved the support for GCSE and A-Level students who require workshop machines – metalworking and woodworking to produce their projects. My role here became demonstrating, instructing and training of such equipment.

This role allowed me to teach a variety of engineering courses to full time students and adults. Courses I have taught are as follows;

GNVQ Manufacturing, Interior Design, CAD/CAM, A-Level Design Technology, 2 Dimensional Computer Aided Design.
