    I know this has been asked before but,
    Where would I apply for work experience in the Air Corps?
    Will I just ring the DF information number and ask them? I've been trying all week but they don't seem to pick up when I get home from school.
    I'll try again on Saturday, but before all that, has anybody here done it? I was hoping somebody could shed some light on what its like. There's literally no info on Google.
    Is it too early/late to apply for November?
    Thanks in advance

    A guy in my class did it with Shannon Search and Rescue Air Rescue Unit. He loved it and is now looking at Aeronautical Design in college. He got in through his dad who worked out there. While there, they were stripping down and rebuilding a helicopter (something they do fairly regularly apparently) and he got to help with all of it. Got to see how everything worked as well. Sounded amazing.

    From time to time, selected students may undergo periods of work experience within the Defence Forces. Applications should be made through your local Manpower Office.

    I've heard of people getting to do it with the Air Corps, try emailing them. aircorps.manpower@defenceforces.ie

    I'm ringing them now, it's a monday morning, they should pick up.
    Their website says:
