Hobbies:-
Music is a real hobby of mind. Playing music helps to relax you after a long hard day especially if your banging out a brilliant tune on the drums., I enjoy spending times with my girlfriend and my friends at the weekend. This is a great way to unwind.
Additional information:-
- My attendance and timekeeping are excellent.
- I am a very hard worker and always keen to learn new skills.
- I would say I thrive in a team environment
- I completed a modern apprenticeship engineering school/college course with West Lothian College of Further Education. This was, by far, been my most enjoyable school subject and almost every period at college, the other pupils, from within my course who come from various different schools, came to me for help and assistance, particularly in the workshop.
- I completed an NC level 5 course at City of Glasgow College starting August 2018 studying Mechanical Maintenance Engineering. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. This is definitely a career choice for me.
- At Access Plus in Broxburn, I have learned IPAF, scissor lifts etc, all invaluable experience which I must say is very enjoyable work.
