Congrats mate i have been through the apprentice training scheme at BAE. I started as a craft apprentice at DUnsfold and when that shut i moved to Farnborough to become a technical apprentice which was managed by Preston.

THey payed for all my training including my HND and would have payed for my degree if i could have been arsed to do so!

Finished my training about 4 years ago now and i am now a design engineer working on upgrades to the Harrier GR7, although i am temporarily working at the southside of the Warton site.

Good luck with it m8.

PS have you met a guy called Dave Boyne yet?

Jemma

Well done!

My uncle has worked there since leaving school, a few mates work there too! (Warton)

Jealous of you all lol

Was offered this apprenticeship but took the BNFL one instead

Congratulations for getting on. Hundreds apply every year and they only take a few

Getting in to engineering will be the best career choice you'll ever make
