Aircraft maintenance engineering apprentice Review

Aircraft maintenance apprentice student which right now I am in my first year of training to get the academic requirements to be an aircraft engineer. The role is mainly maintaining aircrafts and taking on responsibilities to ensure safety and seriousness is met in the workplace

Communication, maturity, leadership, confidence, problem solving

I enjoy the programme very much as it has been my goal to get here for long, and the experience I get from this apprenticeship is a lot and I am glad to be here, my favourite part is being around aircrafts in heathrow and working well with my colleagues

Pretty good, considering we have holidays and a timetable as well as breifings of what we will be doing each year.

They support us a lot and come in once in a while to visit and check up on us, they are also free to talk most of the time as well as having weekly drop-in sessions to talk about anything we may worry about.

we get a good amount of support academically but it can depend on the instructor delivering the teaching such as if they want to simplify things we may need to remember rather than attempting to memorise entire pages. But we get good amounts of training support when doing practical work

I feel like qualifications will help me feel far more confident and ready, especially the practical tasks. but for the modules I feel half, as you memorise many things for the exam and then after that you forget most of it afterwards, and the pass mark is slightly too high.

That I know of, I do not think so, but my colleagues and I live near one another in our accommodation and there are sports activities available in our area which we get involved in once in a while.

Yes

You get a lot out of working with British airways especially in aircraft maintenance, from being around aircraft to wonderful people. It is an opportunity I will guarantee you will enjoy. You will get lots of support from everyone at the company and learn many new things.

Be honest, mature and know the work you put in gives you good outcomes. Know you hold the brand's image in your hands and make sure to act accordingly to uphold the image. Always be keen on learning more and aim high!
