Apprentice Aircraft Maintenance Technician Review

My role within the Academy through the first year was to get as many EASA Cat A license exams and also go through intense workshop phase along with relevant aircraft experience

I have learned multiple skills during my time here. Skills such as communication, hand skills, the attitude to never give up and always work hard to achieve the goals I set when i started the year

I full enjoyed the programme. I experienced a good mixture of practical and theory. The way the program was structured was also very good.

It was structured in a good manner. Due to COVID we had a lot of online learning which was really difficult some of the times but the Academy sorted out good plans in place for us to get us through tough times.

I had received plenty of learning material and support to help me get through this course to the best of my abilities. If I needed any help the training staff was very helpful any time of the day.

I got very good support to help me get through this course. All necessary training was put in place to develop and understand the content in a mannerly way.

It helps me understand the different systems and safety features within the aircraft before going into a live environment.

I was involved within a council for Apprentices. There are not any extra-curricular activities within the company to get involved in.

Yes

It is a really good company in terms of helping you get through the qualifications and the course.

BAE systems is one of the worlds leading company to work with. The application process is quite difficult but once you are through the door the world is yours in terms of different pathways you can follow. It is a hard course to get through especially with the intensity of exams, so my advice would be to work really hard the first year and it would become easier the next.
