Breaking into training

Gents - I am currently an aircraft instructor in the RAF.
My questions are:
- What is the chance/score of breaking into the Civvie aviation training sector?
- What quals do you need?
- What are the rates of pay like?
I brace myself for reactions - But please could I have some sensible ones my time is up in the next year
P.S. I have put this on airmech already
Regards - Sumps

The main civilian schools I can think of for you to break into

I would contact CSE at Oxford , and the likes of Bristol, Kingston and Newcastle as they do Training as well as Perth in Scotland ......... see

http://www.newcastleaviation.co.uk/consortium.htm

http://www.perthairport.co.uk/aboutperthairpor.html

This is the flying side of the one at Oxford, but they should be able to help regards the Engineering part

http://www.oxfordaviation.net/

also http://www.lrtt.co.uk/

Good luck, do not know the pay rates...... as you are an Engine Trade have you not considered trying for your licences? You will need to prove work on Aircraft not bay work though, I was a Sumpy too and did, I have / hold an A and C now ( A is Airframes and C is logically Engines )


Do the RAF not re-employ as civilian instructors?

Pretty blooming high mate! The majority of instructors on my type courses have been ex-RAF.

Good luck!
