Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

In the first year, we are at college where we study for the A-License modules as well as doing some practical training in an unsheltered environment. In the second and third years, we are doing on the job training where we go out to our assigned base and get trained to do various tasks associated with being an Aircraft Maintenance Technician on the aircraft.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

So far, the programme has been very challenging yet very rewarding as well. The A-license modules are very challenging however the lecturers at college are very motivating and still make them very interesting and enjoyable whilst also sharing their wealth of knowledge which we can use when we start on OJT training.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Throughout our time in college, we have developed many hand skills, whilst doing practical training, that we will use throughout the rest of our career such as how to use various tools and following LEAN principles. We also develop our team working skills by working in a sheltered environment with a group of people to perform tasks such as changing wheels and brakes, or replacing an air starter on a gas turbine engine.

Structure and Support

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

4/5

Learning the theory for the A-license modules helps us to learn all the relevant theory that we can use in order to get the best understanding for our jobs.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
