I have been looking for ages and can't seem to find any in the North of England. I've seen some such as Monarch, Virgin etc but they are too far away, although if I get paid enough I will lodge!
Anyone know of any aeronautical/aircraft apprenticeships around the North!?
Thanks

yes Monarch Monarch apprentice (http://www.pprune.org/engineers-technicians/507382-engineer-apprentice-uk.html)
Don't fence yourself in johnny.
Apply for all of them. Most of us had to leave home to further our education at some point. The lucky ones got paid to do it.
An indentured (sp) apprenticeship is worth the hassle of lodging for three or four years.
For what it's worth BA are also offering apprentice positions. Most at LHR but occasionally some at GLA.
Good luck. :ok:

Hello everyone,
I avoid opening a new thread as my question is about aircraft maintenance apprenticeships.
I have seen (at this link (http://www.lrtt.co.uk/lrtt-aviation-maintenance-apprenticeships.html) that Bond and CHC are (or will be) offering 2-year long apprenticeships that will also allow the trainee to obtain an A3 licence.
I honestly don't know much about the helicopter maintenance industry at the moment, so my question is: do you consider a training programme such as these two a good first step into the industry? I would aim for a B1.3 licence, but should I see the A3 licence as step to the B1.3 licence? Do you know is these companies somehow encourage the employees that they have trained to obtain the B1.3 licence in the future?
Thank you
Marco

Don't let the too far away issue put you off. There will be other apprentices starting with you in the same boat and you can rent together to reduce costs.

CHC do train their guys beyond the A, the last lot of apprentices are currently at the B licence stage. I would say that getting a start is the hardest thing. Once you are in then doors open.
From a UK perspective the offshore helicopter industry is a good employer with salaries now equal to the big fixed wing world.
