Andrei Fordy

Level 3 Aeronautical Engineering

"I really enjoy the hands-on experience of using the aircraft, taking apart components, getting all oily and greasy while playing around with tools I’ve never used before! I feel lucky to be part of such a great class because I’m getting much more in-depth teaching about engineering within the aviation industry that I would anywhere else in the region."
