easyJet's Advanced Apprenticeship in Aeronautical Engineering combines on-the-job learning with formal training to develop licensed aeronautical engineers. Apprentices will complete a CAT A1 training course at easyJet's Luton and/or Kemble training academy over a 9-month period, then continue practical full-time work at Luton or Gatwick to build evidence for UKCAA and EASA Part-66 Category A1 modules and pass the end-point assessment.

The role is primarily workshop/hangar-based at Hangar 89, London Luton Airport (Luton, Bedfordshire LU2 9PF). Weekly hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00-17:00 (37 hours 30 minutes).
