So, how does one get B1.3 relevant job/work placement, with B1.1 exams and no experience as engineer to speak of, in Europe? I could get bit of Robinson maintenance coming summer, and will sit the heli EASA module if needed.

It seems to me that unless one gets apprentice spot with AW or EC, it ain't easy in the UK, at least. I'd have it easier to break into with B1.4 stuff I presume.
How does one get job if the companies advertise for 3-5yrs of experience and type rating on turbine helicopters as engineer? Bit of Catch-22.
