The pay is quite good at Cat C level. No doubt. But, there is a fantastic
shortage of people with the right practical skills on the Hangar floor in
general, especially structures/sheetmetal and increasingly B2 avionics.
The duties of a Cat C Certifier may legislatively require sound knowledge
of an aircraft type but the actual daily job description does not expect you to apply it in full, ie: you won't be up to your waist in EGPWS
modification kits, performing a skin repair per SRM or adjusting Fuel Flow Regulators IAW EMM etc etc...
Alternate from the Uni route mentioned by Mono, The Cat C can be
earnt after 3 years working at B1 or B2 level where from that platform, your complete aircraft maintenance experience can be used to make better informed decisions :. enhancing airworthiness. Beleive me, this
will make a difference.
Look at the 4th vacancy on the link below - contact them and explain
your situation. The pay may not be something to celebrate over but it
is a growing company and the skills you seek to aquire may be available
to you. You will have to put the effort in though, moreso than Uni, but
the rewards are not limited, at all.
