Thanks for the reply, I had a gut-feeling that you wouldn't become a B2 Engineer automatically.
At the moment, I would ideally like to work close to home as I am in my last year of school, and it's a bit of a trekk getting to the bigger places from where I am without being able to drive myself.
There is a place near me where I did my Work Experience that did a similar sort of thing, Component Overhaul/Avionic repairs at a facility. I've already emailed them, enquiring about employment.
What do you think? Would a place like this take on those who have just left School?
Also, if you don't mind me asking, what was your route from working in Component Overhaul to becoming a Licenced Engineer?
I hope you can help,
Dominic
