Aircraft Workshop - Apprenticeship

The initial induction to the business for this Apprenticeship will take place at our London Heathrow Base. For the remainder of the first year, this Apprenticeship will then split between Farnborough College of Technology, where you will study 3 days per week towards a Composite Technician apprenticeship and 2 days on the job training in the Fleet Support Facility workshop at Heathrow, with weekends off. During year one, you will achieve an EAL level 2 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and study towards your knowledge skills and behaviours. You will undertake placements at British Airways Heathrow base to learn practical skills which under pin the formal learning.

In your second year, you will still follow a Monday to Friday pattern, attending college 1 day per week to further cover the knowledge skills and behaviours criteria, with 4 days on the job training at Heathrow.

In your final year you will transition to 4 on/4 off day shift pattern and complete your work-based portfolio of evidence in preparation for the end point assessment which will complete your apprenticeship
