Aircraft engineer Review

Apprentice aircraft engineer, daily tasks inculde checking all tools, carrying out servicing on the aircraft,

Learn new skills every day, learning different parts of the aircraft and how things work

I enjoy the programme very much, been hands on is something i enjoy and the job is mostly hands on

Hanger is managed by a different company, so we dont have much interaction with BAE on a day to day

NVQ side is pretty straight forwards, needs more consistency between assessors, whats acceptable for one might not be for the other.

Overall support is fairly good, sometimes difficult to get in contact with a trainer, as there are no assessors on site, we rely on email, but this is sometimes missed/ignored.

Supports there when needed

Salary is probably above average for an apprentice although its difficult on the low wage as your expected to move away and rent your own place in the second year.

Our base has alot of community activities your encouraged to get involved with

Yes

Massive company, with opportunities to go wherever you want in the company

Dont expect a fast application process, and don't be worried if you don't hear anything for a while, be confident and prepared
