What our traniees say

As I already have experience in mechanics, I wanted to learn something that was new to me. I was particularly interested in the history of EFW, for example the conversion of the A300. I currently work in a small team where I always have a contact person and am well trained. I decided in favour of vocational training in the trades because of the variety.
Felix B. (17), Aircraft Electronics Technician

I am fascinated by electronics and the interaction of components. I gained my first experience with the electronics on my moped. Over time, I also repaired and maintained various electrical and electronic components at home. I generally find aviation very fascinating, so I applied to EFW because I wanted to complete my vocational training close to home. Above all, it makes me proud to take things into my own hands and take on responsibility.
