Aberdeen apprenticeships
As an employee of one of the `big` 3 in ABZ we have recently had our first batch of new apprentices come into the fold and i was a bit surprised that they have been studying for, and sitting A licence exams. I`m also a bit surprised at their training as it seems to have been orientated towards the bigger world of fixed wing.
As for degrees, my son has a mechanical eng degree and is struggling to get a job.
No matter which route you take it will be difficult , but there is a severe shortage of us rotary wing types especially B2 and aberdeen has a mass of new aircraft both now and scheduled in the near future.
My 2 pennith worth would be that if you go to a college/uni make sure it is a 147 approved as if it isn`t then it`s worthless. Good luck young man.
