    I have fond memories of my time at Cosford in 2002. Great to see you still using some of the training equipment we had! All the best for an exciting and rewarding career.

      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.

      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

      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.

      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.
