Aircraft maintenance apprentice Review

I am an aircraft maintenance apprentice which involves jobs like changing filters, replacing components, panels etc as well as servicing jobs like replenishing oil, hydraulic fluid.

I have developed new hand skills with working in such a busy environment revolves around fixing engines, replacing components whether it’s wheels, entertainment screens or even panels. Developing my hand skills further with practice and learning something new every day.

I am thoroughly enjoying my programme with every new encounter new problem or new aircraft there’s always something new to learn and get my hands on. There is never a dull day when working with aircraft.

It is a well structured programme that helps with keeping you on track. The support staff are helpful as well with any problems that we may encounter. The programme is set out quite simple and easy to follow to get assist in getting a clear understanding of what needs to be done.

They’re helpful to get any issues resolved but I feel like they could be a bit more responsive to emails.

They’re just as motivated as us to get our qualifications by pushing us further and suggesting improvements or suggestions that may benefit us in getting the vital experience I need to qualify.

My qualification assists me in gaining the vital experience I need in order to get my license in future. It also gives me the knowledge and skills to perform well as an engineer.

Not any that are open as of yet due to covid 19 but as soon as they do I will be involved.

Yes

Because they are such a great company to work for, the support provided as well as the work relationships you develop that make work even more enjoyable. Also with all the added benefits of travel make it the dream job.

Be yourself and try and get some relevant experience before hand. Also be open to change as there are a lot of opportunities to travel and develop as a person.
