Year 1
Starting your Level 2 Diploma in Aerospace and Aviation Engineering, and your A Licence Modules.
The first year is usually jam-packed. This is because you will be starting several qualifications at the same time. Usually, you will spend the first year studying towards your A Licence modules. The layout of your apprenticeship could look different depending on your chosen airline or company. Depending on who you chose, you could be away at a training school for 10 months or this stage can be done in house.
Most commonly, at the dedicated training school, you will complete your modules back to back. Some modules will have a practical phase such as Module 7 and Module 11. So you will have two breaks where you will be carrying out a variety of practical work. Module 7 will have workshop work focusing on techniques such as: filing, drilling, sawing and working to engineers drawings. Module 11 will have a 'hangar' phase. This is where you will carry out numerous maintenance tasks on 'dead' aircraft.
Year 2-3
Completion of Level 3 Diploma in Aviation Maintenance & A Licence. (Competence)
The next 1-2 years, you will be working with your chosen company. This could be day, night shifts or both depending on their requirements. You will build all of the practical knowledge required in order to gain your CAT A Licence. This is also the time to do re-takes of any exams that you may have failed during year 1.
