Always be busy...When you have nothing to do you aren`t looking hard enough for something to do or learn.

I completed my apprenticeship at the start of the year and I am still learning heaps and will be for the rest of my career.

Always be interested in what the engineer you are working with is doing & never be scared to ask questions.

Be bold & just ask, no matter how silly you believe the question to be.

Don't pick up bad habits from those you work with!

Try to pre-empt what tools the engineer may require for what he/she is doing & have them to hand to pass when they need them. This will come with experience & whilst it is only a small thing, it will go a long way with the engineer as it will show that you are learning & showing an interest.

When you work with someone try and think what they are doing and anticipate what they will require.

Ask questions and offer to help.

Do not stand around with your hands in your pockets, if someone is stuggling near you get in there and struggle with them.

One last piece of advice.

Do not ask what time we will be finished when you get in the van in the morning.

Hi Cassr, Have a look at this and familiarize your self with it its from Danfoss, there are also games on the sight where it asks you to position parts of the system. have a good look about the website there is a lot of information on it, but don`t try to go too fast.
