Late entry to engineering
Hi there,
I started an apprenticeship with a large airline at the age of 22. I attended university for 3 years but decided to leave to pursue a career in aviation.
The first few years are tough from a salary point of view, but at least you're getting paid for your training!
Provided you pass all exams (EASA PART 66) within your training period (approx 4 - 5 years) you should come out with a B1 / B2 Licence depending on which way you lean (Mechanical or Avionic respectively)
If you have a serious interest in aviation and wish to become a part of it, this is one of the best ways to get into it! It is not unknown for engineers to progress to take a PPL course, followed by their ATPL and MCC while still working as an engineer.
Any more questions, send me a PM...
