Career advice for daughter - UK aircraft tech wannabe

I've scanned the forum but have a few qs...

For some reason my daughter seems keen on fixing aircraft for a living. This is something I know zero about so have started scanning the internet. Be I'd be grateful for any pointers on how career paths work in the UK.

There seem to be apprenticeships and degrees in various forms of technician work - are these both pathways that lead to licencing (and how do the various grades of that all work?)?

She's also said that joining RN/RAF/Army is something she'd consider as a route - is it? And is there a difference between the services?

She's 17, got good GCSEs (As in sciences, maths etc) is waiting on A level results (inc maths) and has a place at university for a not-quite-science subject. But she's bored rigid with academia so probably won't take it up.

Many thanks for any comments - and I hope this (my first) post is in the right area (if not, let me know and I'll repost elsewhere).
