      Hi
      You'll need to meet the entry requirements of whichever role you wish to apply for. It depends on you when you apply, that decision is up to you. You will gain the apprenticeship as part of the phase two training, so you'll be paid to get the one in service.

      @royalairforce  3 года назад +3

      Hi
      No, we train everyone from scratch. You just need to meet the entry requirements listed on the role page on the RAF Recruitment website to be able to submit an application and pass all stages of the application process.

      Hi
      You gain the apprenticeship as part of the phase two training. So you will gain the apprenticeship for the role you're in, not one for two roles.
      Kind regards

      There is a LOT of theory involved in the job. You won't start working on the aircraft at Cosford for around 7 months, and the theory continues after you do start.
