Hey everyone

I would like people's opinion on the issue of Aviation Australia, the learning centre in Brisbane.

I have been considering if its a good idea to enroll in their Avionics cert.

The only thing is, myself being 27 years old.
A. Would it be rather hard to snap up an apprenticeship somewhere in Australia, given age etc etc

B. From what I have read, over the last few years, Becoming an avionics tech, engineer etc etc probally isnt the smartest move to make, especially in this country as the opportunities are somewhat limited.

But if anyone could throw their 2 cents in you would be helping me a great deal.
I posted this in the other forum too, sorry :/ i didnt know which one I should put it in
Cheers

While I can't say anything directly about AA, 27 is not old to be starting. Really, the days where you had to be enrolled in this course by 15 or else is long gone. People take longer to find their place in the world. And 27 is so far from being old I'm kind of surprised you'd worry.

Generally new hires with a little maturity and life experience are valued.
