Hi, so I’m currently in the process of transferring from RM to the RAF as a gen tech e and basically trying to find out as much insider information as possible, things I would like to know are:
likely possible 1st postings after trade training, or could it be literally any camp? (Chances of getting an overseas posting?)
will I get experience in a broad spectrum of electrical work (website says x-ray machines, dentist equipment, etc is this likely or will I be sat around twiddling my thumbs most of the day?
From what I can gather from the website it says I will get an nvq level 3, city and guilds level 3 and 18th wiring edition from basic trade training at st Athens, it mentions about getting an advanced apprenticeship within 3 years, do you start this at st Athens or have to start once your at your unit?
Chances of getting more quals like hnc/d and degrees?
How hard is the course at st Athens? Is it very intense and crammed in, or quite chilled and well paced? Do Many people fail it?
Day to day life as a gen tech e
and any any other information you can enlighten me with would be much appreciated, I would of waited 18 months for this transfer by the time I move over so hope it’s worth the wait.
many thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
