Over a series of placements, you’ll work on all our aircraft fleets, gaining the experience and knowhow to help keep them in perfect working order.

The work
The initial induction to the business for this Apprenticeship will take place at our London Heathrow base.

During your time away from Heathrow, we will provide complimentary accommodation for you close to your training base. We will support you whilst off site holding regular review meetings with you and your learning provider.
For years two and three, you will return to our Heathrow Base to work alongside our engineers with the potential to be placed in one of our other UK operational bases in year 3. Comprehensive safety training will be delivered at Heathrow before you commence your placements.
We will continue to support your development with regular 1:1 meetings, and progress reviews with your learning provider. You’ll continue to study towards CAA Part-66 Category A Licence Modules and your End Point Assessment. Please note: For those aged 18 and over when based at Heathrow in years two and three, work will follow a 12-hour shift pattern - days (from 6.00am), nights (from 6.00pm), or a mix of both - on a 4 on / 4 off rotation.
