Apprenticeship in India
Hello everyone,
My first post on these forums although I've been frequenting it for the past couple of months just reading and learning stuff..... so happy new year to all!!
I just wanted to know where I can find apprenticeship here in India, I'm currently studying aircraft maintenance engineering specializing in avionics. And since I still have a year of college to go I am in no hurry, but starting early wouldn't hurt would it?
Enjoy your new year parties!!

Try "Power Enhance", they operate Eurocopter AS-365 Dauphin and have recently purchased some Agusta Westland AW139. I beleive they are in Bombay. I have worked with several engineers over the years who had started their careers with this company and all have been highly skilled and top blokes.

Depending on your qualification.Currently a BAMEC can assure you an Aircraft Technician job.
It would be tough to get a job as an apprentice,without the required qualification.
But small operators would be easier.

Thanks chopperpilot and hawk21!
I tried googling out 'power enhance' but it didn't turn up any relevant results so could you please share their contact details that would be really helpful.
Hmm... like I said I've still got some time to spend in the institute so I'm just weighing out my options and 'planning ahead' so to speak. As regards my qualifications I'll be acquiring my first BAMEL in Feb'09 session. It is only around that time that I'd like to start out with my apprenticeship. Hey, Hawk21 could you please tell me more about techinicians' work... as in how does it differ from apprenticeships (I hope my questions aren't stupid... lol) and whom to contact.
Regards,
Superliner.

Aircraft technicians are unlicenced maintenance personell.They perform work on aircraft under the supervision of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer [AME].
They are full time employees of an organisation in most cases.
Aircraft Technicians with passing of required exams can become AMEs.

Okay... thanks I get it now.
So I believe that I could go either way by taking up an apprenticeship or working as a technician. So how does one proceed from being a technician to becoming an AME assuming that I have a BAMEL when I join as a technician? What exams should one take (I guess that would be Paper IV)

Edit: It would be nice if I could get some contacts of firms looking for technicians/apprentices.

Sorry Pal, I got the name wrong. The correct name is "Pawan Hans". However it does sound like "power enhance" when an Indian chap says it to you. Sorry about the confusion, google that name and you will get a good result. Good luck.

After clearing BAMEL in catergories HA/JE/LA/PE,one can pass paper 4 or after joining up in an airline attend approved type training by the company.
On completion & clearing of orals/practicals by Regulatory authority.licence can be endorsed as AME.

True.
for BAMEL in Cat R, you need Paper 1,2 & 3[R].
check CAR Series L for details on Directorate General of Civil Aviation

Trust me....Out here minimum qualification to get a good job is a BAMEC in HA/JE or E/R/I.
It might require you working as a Aircraft tech for sometime too,before getting an approved course.

Well, no matter how long it takes, how hard I've got to work... that is something I really want to achieve. It is just that I'm looking for footholds in this unknown territory
Goodluck on your endeavor!

Be Humble to ask questions & be ready to help a collegue in answering his queries.
Aviation Mx is a small team in this world & there are good & bad apples out here.
You need to filter out the bad ones.
