Hey all,
I've recently had my AST at my local afco and passed! I've been thinking a lot about roles and no matter what I keep coming back to cyberspace communication specialist (it tech?) and after doing a bit of reading up, I've seen a few mixed opinions on the trade - some people saying it's (excuse my french) ****e and others saying it's the dogs balls. So I was wondering if anyone on the forum could provide me with a bit more details on what the role consists of and whether or not it's worth going for, in terms of both experience and promotion opportunities.
I want the opportunity to get a bunch of qualifications, do a lot of courses etc so that when I do decide to come out I have a career so another question is what sort of opportunities are there in terms of qualifications?? I read that No.1 Training School is a microsoft and cisco accredited academy, does this mean that I could get Cisco qualifications from taking this role? My old man recently did a Cisco Datacentre Technician course with his company and was wondering if I'd get the opportunity to do similar things in the raf as that really appeals to me!!! If worst comes to worst and this role isn't suited to me, I'm also leaning towards AMM (I withdrew my application to take some time to think about what I want to do because I am doing a-levels at the moment but am finding they're not really for me.)
thanks all sorry for any mistakes
