How do I gain Part 145 experience for a licence
Hi everyone,
First of all apologies, I posted something quite similar this on here a couple of years ago but the thread didn't really takeoff. So I will give it another bash and see what comes up.
I'm an Unlicensed mechanic working for a non-part 145 company. I completed a Cat A Part 147 fully approved course. I realise that where I am working at the moment is doing absolutely nothing for my career and getting me no closer to obtaining an EASA licence.
My main aim is to move back to the UK and find employment with an airline or MRO in order to gain the part 145 experience for a basic Cat A licence. The problem is, I am applying to various unlicensed mechanical positions in the UK, but so far I have very had little success. A few leads, but nothing seems to blossom.
Although it has little benefit in the UK and most other places, I went to America to get an A&P Licence and I am now in the process of taking my B1 modules in hope of showing progressing to potential employers.
I am even considering working unpaid in the UK when I go back in order to gain the experience for the A-licence. I would rather have a paid position to go back home to but will also work for free if necessary.
I realise that this post might come across as negative and I apologise for that, but this is an industry that I really want to continue in if possible. I am still as determined as ever to get this done and any help would be greatly appreciated!
