I love the programme I am enrolled on. It was always my aim to work for BAE, knowing how great of a company they are. To have the apprenticeship straight after I finished school, was like a dream come true.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, I have gained many skills in the workshops, learning how to use different pieces of equipment for jobs. I have also learnt much more knowledge, now knowing different things on aircrafts that I have learnt in modules.

2/5
I know there has been previously, but I am not aware of any currently running due to COVID restrictions.
