Aircraft Maintenance Apprentice Review

Work alongside engineers in the maintenance environment to service aircraft and learn the skills I require to become an engineer. I’m currently in long haul maintenance which is mostly A and B checks alongside general servicing.

I’ve learnt many news hand skills during my apprenticeship as well as all the knowledge required to fill out maintenance paperwork.

I absolutely love my job and couldn’t be happier. Slightly worried that there may be a change to our shift pattern that’d put us on two days two nights however.

In general the programme is fairly well structured however I do feel some things could be better organised. I still don’t have my stamp or tools tags for example.

Both our managers, Mike and Abi, are incredible. They’ll always go out there way to help you.

Plenty. They made sure we where well looked after and housed very nicely during our exam modules and had regular check ins to ensure our welfare.

My qualifications have given me essential knowledge for working in the maintenance environment.

Plenty. No one is forced into them, but they’re there if you want them.

Yes

Easily the best job I’ve ever had

Be yourself and ensure you really have the passion for the job and what comes with it. The exams hard and you’re going to need to put in lots of work to get then done.
