Mature Students Entering Aircraft Engineering
Hi,
Just wanted to get an idea from any aircraft engineers out there who can either give me some advice about entering aircraft engineering late in life or people who are just about to embark on such a late career change.
My background is that I gained a BTEC Diploma in Aerospace Engineering about 20 yrs ago then I worked in different areas of airports and airlines except engineering but now hoping to study/work to continue where I left off 20 yrs ago. The first obvious problem is the gaining of the practical experience if I take the licence engineer path. I am looking at the Foundation degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Farnborough College in Sep to give me perhaps more possible avenues....Is this a wise path?
