Anybody know the start date of the apprenticeship?

Usually early september.

Good luck to everybody

they never mentioned anything about a medical before?

The engineer said some time in september for the start, i think the second week he said.

*EDIT*

They did alright, Colour vision it says and physically fit, I assume its a standard Apprenticeship medical

Im suprised that wasnt done this week or even before. I remember applying for the air corps and I needed a Doctors note (e50 to say i was healthy:rolleyes:) , then they did a fitness test.

Was basic enough, although some poor lad couldnt do 20 sit ups in a minute

CaptainSkidmark

ah stop, most would be done in 30 seconds! poor chap lol

I know I felt sorry for the guy, he didnt look out of shape either, maybe he had a injury.

Hi Stephen.

The kind of things I was asked were along the lines of:

Tell me about how you work within a team.

How do you think you will deal with the qualified mechanics who will be teaching you.

You will have a lot of learning to do, how will you cope with this.

Other than that it is the average kind of HR questions to do with motivation etc.

I wouldn't give up hope yet, you'd never know how many will fail medical/ security check/ pull out.

I assume that was a D check, you can be sure that ye wont be doing anything like that.

The guy from EI said it was only A checks that would be carried out.
