Good evening..can anyone tell me how the assessment day went and what kind of questions were asked..thanks
I emailed them a week ago or so, and they said they have delayed the Apprenticeship intake. They said it would open ‘soon’ but didn’t specify a date.

@Yatesy90 ya me!

do they look at your alevels because none of my subjects i chose for alevels are related to engineering
They aren't fussed about A levels really, as the minimum requirements are GCSE that's what they are after. We've had apprentices who started at 16 so won't have done A levels. Off the top of my head I cant remember what the GCSE requirements were as I went through the application a year ago but it was maths and English were the ones they were interested in as obviously you are going to study some technical subjects.

I didn't receive this email. All aircraft engineering apprenticeships are not on hold as I have got an interview for BAE Systems and Cobham.

So I applied to the British airways aircraft maintanance apprenticeships and got through all the interviews. I received an email yesterday and they said I was successful in getting a placement and they will send me the contract once they do all the reference checks etc. I was just wondering if there is anyone else who was successful and if you are please could you contact me

Thanks !

Hi Aaron, hope you're well. I have just received an invite to interview for this same apprenticeship. As you were successful in yours several years ago, I was wondering if you'd be able to give me an indication as to what the questions will be like please? I'd be very grateful

The accomodation is shared. We're in holiday cottages with generally 3 people to each one. You get your own room and share a kitchen, bathrooms and living room.
Your evenings and weekends are your own while at the accomodation so it is up to you. Evenings generally will be spent revising especially once you get onto some of the bigger exams and it is a bit in the middle of nowhere.
Some people go and play five a side or go to the gym in the evenings. Weekends it really varies, some people stick around the accomodation some people go away for weekends. It partially will depend on how well you get on with the other apprentices and what people end up doing together
can I ask where you stayed for 2nd and 3rd year?

2nd and 3rd year accommodation is on you to arrange. Myself and 3 other apprentices rented a house in West Drayton close to Heathrow. If you aren't local and there's other apprentices in the same boat then a house share is a decent option as rented accommodation within reasonable commuting distance is far from cheap!
