Apprentice Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Review

Working towards my qualifications by revising for exams and producing work. Preparing myself for being in the workplace so I understand my role better.

Learning about the ins and outs of aircraft and what qualities I need to display in the workplace

I really enjoy it. I didn't consider an engineering apprenticeship until I discovered it, I always thought I'd be under qualified to get on the course.

Teething issues in terms of logistics and scheduling of timings and events, but the overall programmed has been thoroughly explained to me and I know what to aim for.

My employer is always contactable if I have troubles and support me all the time. They provide accommodation as we are living far away from home at the moment

Training provider have great staff and facilities and they give us extra work if we ask for it, such as more questions and page reads

My confidence has grown greatly since working with the training provider as they cover a very fundamental level and build from there, I feel like there a little gaps in my knowledge, but they are quickly being filled in.

No. As we are living near to the training provider we aren't close to much socialising possibilities

Yes

They are the first employer I've had that feel genuinely invested in my career and my wellbeing.

Be honest about your interests and show your enthusiasm for the apprenticeship. Taking on the apprentice is tough but the pay off is well worth it in the end. It will be a slog, but with determination you can prove to British Airways that you deserve the job.
