Aircraft Maintenance Engineer apprentice Review

1ST year is classroom based work, working towards potential cat A certificates.

Yes, i have learnt about aircraft maintenance on civilian jets

it has been fun, very hard in some places but overall good.

The programme itself looks initially well put together but when you progress through the first year, more management issues come apparent. the training materials given are unsuitable to learn from, and many issues arrive just from our cohort.

the overall welfare support is good, they like to force it upon you but they're quite good. they don't help with normal day to day issues like exams and notes being unsuitable.

we get class tutors to help us through each module but toward the qualification (NVQ) we have had nothing

not really, the first year is made for a civilian role when we are working on MOD property

we have Outward bound and maybe a base visit.

Yes

Because they are a job, jobs are work, work is life.

make sure you read the contract. Read the listing before you apply. Come in with the grindset and get the modules smashed out. management are not the best so have a it-is-what-it-s mindset.
