Aerospace engineer Review

Training is good, involves lots of practical and theory work related to what you'll be doing as an aerospace engineer. When doing theory work you'll be taught content and then expected to pass an exam shortly after, and practical work involves manufacture and repair of interesting projects.

Learnt lots of practical skills, which were well taught and demonstrated in the practical phase of training. Considering I never really had any manufacturing and technical skills, this training has given me lots of skills in a practical sense.

The programme is very interesting, and you mostly get what you signed up for. The theory work in training can be a bit boring, but this is made up for by practical work where you are given the independence to work and also lots of help is provided if needed.

The programme is very well structured, and you will always have something to do. In addition, time is always allocated for any other tasks outstanding. The mix of theory and practical work is also well done, and ensures that training is as diverse and interesting as it can be.

You are informed of where to get help for a range of issues that you may have, and when doing any work or training, there are plenty of people available that can help you with any problems. The staff are very approachable for any help.

They ensure that you pass any training, and additional study sessions and associated assistance is provided if required should you fail or struggle with training or work.

There are a range of practical skills and knowledge obtained in training, this can be well applicated to work and where this is applicable is demonstrated when you are taught the skills.

There isn't that much on offer, but the company recommends using the network to contact other employees creating about events and e.g. sports.

Yes

Good company to work for, lots of support and you are well rewarded for your work. Colleagues are approachable and there is a positive atmosphere of support and teamwork.

Don't be concerned about your existing knowledge of the work before applying, the company values good work ethic and admirable characteristics when choosing apprentices. Do your research about the company and be sure to demonstrate any positive personal qualities.
