Instead of posting on international aviation forums, why don’t you come and see us.
In all seriousness, if you have no engineering experience at all, I would suggest that an EASA licence programme is not the ideal route. Newcastle College run C&G / BTEC courses which may help and I would suggest that you speak to them directly. I’ll PM the number in a moment.
You will find many different routes to aerospace engineering. I am paid to suggest the Academy route, BUT try volunteering at the local museum (NEAM) first to see if you are even capable of wielding a spanner, and that you particularly like working in sub-zero conditions with minimal help.
If you find you do like freezing to death, then you have the following routes to a qualification:
1. Academy route to an EASA pt66 B1.1 licence. (2 years academic full time + 1 year experience MINIMUM)
2. C&G / BTEC route to either mechanic or Academy (2 years full time)
3. Licence by post (part time, but expensive and unlikely to succeed without significant experience)
The engineering industry is reducing in size all the time in this country, so there are very few jobs anywhere – even for those with rafts of experience. Be prepared to move out of the country if you want to get a start in the industry.
