Apprenticeships are a great way into the world of work.
You can launch your career at the same time as you're earning and learning. You also get the experience of working in a professional environment along with the benefits of formal training.
Typically, you'll spend four days in the workplace and one day at College, depending on the needs of your employer.
An Apprenticeship can be a route to university level qualifications. You usually start at Level 2 or Level 3 and you can then progress to a Higher Apprenticeship at Level 4, or go on to study for part-time degree level qualifications such as HNCs, HNDs and Foundation Degrees.
Aircraft maintenance technicians are essential in the aviation industry, working in both civil and military sectors to ensure the safety and airworthiness of aircraft, including planes, helicopters, and jet fighters. These skilled professionals maintain and certify aircraft by inspecting, repairing, and modifying mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems. They perform safety checks, manage technical logs, and handle scheduled and unscheduled maintenance tasks. Often working in diverse environments such as hangars and workshops, technicians may hold an Aircraft Maintenance Licence issued by regulatory bodies like the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), reflecting their expertise and commitment to aviation safety.
