Hello all,
I started a Bachelor's degree in engineering in January of this year, 2016, but I'm now thinking of joining the RAF as an aircraft tech (mechanical).
Firstly does this differ from the apprenticeship as an aircraft tech?
Secondly has anyone done both hand in hand, working in the RAF and doing an open university degree? The next course i have to take requires me to go to residential school for four days at the university of Bath, is this going to interfere with training / am I going to be able to leave base for this?
Or is it a better option to complete the NVQ with the RAF then transfer credit to the degree at open university then finish it with them?
I'm unsure what to do, and any insight would be extremely useful.
