Becoming LAE
It was suggested on AirMech Forum that is should repost this here.
"What's the best way to become a LAE?
I've just graduated with a Beng in Aerospace Engineering and had been hoping to go into civil aviation.
I'm aware that it would be unlikely to do an apprenticeship but i want to work closer to the actual airframes than a CAD workstation.
I've been looking into getting some of the modules under my belt and into whether i qualify for the exemption mentioned because iof my Beng.
But how can i get the practical experience required?
I do a bit of electronics hobby stuff and various UAV projects i've been doing on the side but i suspect that is hardly the calibre of mechanical experience required.
Is there any companies or schools which might be willing to work with me?
Are there and recommended methods of getting expereince.?
Do companies really consider taking on people when they have several modules completed?"
Edit: I was told to ask for Genghis
