Some testimonials from our current Engineering Apprentices:
Finlay Toner, Engineering Apprentice
This apprenticeship has been amazing! At first, I was introduced to the others who were accepted onto the apprenticeship who are now some of my closest friends, I was then given tours around each department meeting some of the technicians on the job and was also shown around the college where I have spent my first year on the apprenticeship. And this was all just in the first week!
The first year at college teaches you practical skills such as welding, machining and hand fitting whilst also backing you up with the theory knowledge alongside it. Combining this with having the opportunity to work at Gatwick during the half terms and being able to work in company with highly trained technicians puts you in the best possible position to succeed in this field.
