Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
During the work experience placement we were able to look at all the bases where the planes are. Have a look at the planes. Got to try and do some jobs or help the engineers out. We also had a look at workshop and head office and try out aeroplane simulators
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
3/5
I enjoyed it quite a lot. There was so many things. I haven't done before and gotten to see. It was interesting to have a look at. People were kind and friendly. They got us to help out where they could and made us feel welcome. So I would say I enjoyed it
How well organised was your work experience?
3/5
It was quite well organised as we were to have a look at everything that was there and all the opportunities that was there. The person who ran it took us around to every place he could. So it was organised but because you don't know what planes are coming in or out. There was times we couldn't do much but that's you would expect
