Another question i have is, are there many jobs available once i would be qualified or is it like airline pilots at the minute where the pilots are actually paying to sit in the cockpit?
Thanks

No age limit - it's just a slow tough route to qualify (as any kind of Engineer to be honest, particularly in aviation).
You could try Bristow Helicopters in Aberdeen to see if they're planning any apprenticeships in the future, or I'm certain that several of the Scottish HE colleges do aircraft maintenance courses.
