Appretice Fitter Review

During my time as an apprentice fitter I will be going around the business, to various placements on different types of aircraft so I can experience the build process for the jets and build my skills and knowledge as a fitter.

Yes definitely, I have learnt new fitting skills and learned how components on the aircraft are assembled and put together. I have built my character up as a person and working with a team and individually.

I enjoy all of my programme, including all the activities you can do as part of the scheme and what you learn throughout the scheme.

it is very structured, with daily checkups in your placement by the assessors and always being around people who are willing to help you at any time.

During the daily check ups and reviews you are offered additional help if you are struggling and any problems, you can ask you manager or line supervisor and they will do everything possible to make sure you receive the help

We have college once a week, with opportunities to move to a higher level of education such as the HNC and HND in aerospace engineering. Any help you need is available such as extra help with subjects.

The qualifications we are doing help us understand the job we are doing, allowing us to see in more depth in why we do certain tasks, which help towards the skills we need to gain

There's always opportunities arising to do more then just the path layed out for you apprenticeship, including chances to go around the business and experience different opportunities.

Yes

The opportunities you have are amazing and with so much flexibility in the business, you can succeed and grow in many different areas of the business. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Don't be afraid to be bold and try out new ideas, which the company encourages and makes use of with. Try to stand out from the crowd
