Level 3 Advanced Air Engineering Technician Apprentice Review

Engineering-based office work pertaining to aircraft, training, et cetera.

I have gained skills in software such as the Atlassian toolset, have improved my communication skills, improved my practical skills and problem-solving skills.

I enjoy my programme, usually finding the most enjoyment when on placement but this varies depending on what my job role at the time is.

I would say it is well organised and structured for the most part. There are relatively minor occasional hiccups, e.g. requesting a placement and not receiving any word back.

I receive an adequate amount of support from my employer.

My training provider is my employer and the assistance offered is acceptable.

I feel like the two aren't very much related; there are some times when my qualification offers help with performance in my job role but I'd say this isn't usually the case. Most skills are honed during placements.

Probably.

Yes

Good work/life balance, decent pay for an apprentice, adequate support, good managers. I've had nothing but positive experiences with anybody I have worked with or for during my time at BAE Systems.

My first recommendation would be to complete the Jira & Confluence fundamentals courses on Atlassian University (free and short!). These tools are used often in the business, and some understanding of these tools prior to applying would be an immediate and relevant bonus in your CV when compared to other candidates.
