Aircraft Maintenance Technician Apprentice Review

My role primarily involves reporting to check managers to receive work, working to a high standard, learning while working, building my logbook, working towards my NVQ Level 3, keeping up-to-date with emails, and online training, and attending STEM events.

I have largely developed my hand skills while working in the different hangars to a good standard. I believe my communication and punctuality have also improved as an effect of talking with engineers, and responding to emails in a timely manner.

There is a large measure of satisfaction when I complete a job I have been assigned, and I get along well with my peers and colleagues.

Even though my apprenticeship programme has only been running for a few years, it has a surprising amount of structure, and organisation.

My managers are readily available to talk to whenever I need to.

The back-and-forth can be slow, but this is a given as our assessors have a lot of apprentices to handle.

Writing up task reports and knowledge evidence documents can help us to consolidate some of the things that we have learned.

There are a plethora of STEM events that we can choose to attend as a STEM ambassador.
