BT employee Matthew Peters has successfully completed a Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician – MOET – Standard Apprenticeship with Stoke on Trent College and achieved an overall MERIT grade.
Stoke on Trent College Skills Coach Jasbir Bansal said: “Throughout his Apprenticeship, Matthew demonstrated an impeccable ability to work within a team and independently.
“Over the last eight months of the programme, his knowledge, skills, and behaviour have developed considerably, and he demonstrated this during mock technical interviews with excellent responses to probing questions.
“In addition to Matthew’s outstanding theoretical skills, he excelled in the mock pre-gateway activities held at BT Walsall Training Centre, which helped him to fine-tune his practical abilities.”
Meanwhile, the College is running a series of mid-year starts for several apprenticeship courses. They include:
