FCC Engineering Apprentice Salary?

[Ryan9]

Hello, I've had a look around everywhere but I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for, hope someone here can give me some details.

I have a first interview/assessment with FFC soon for this position, however it doesn't state the salary like some others do, does anyone know what it is over the four years? Also when you're qualified what salary can you expect?

Thank you.

Is this based at a depot (ie Cauldwell or the soonish to be opened ones)?

There were a couple of ex-fitters on my drivers course a few years back. I think they were on around 37k basic but earned up to 50k banging the overtime in.

I imagine this will have gone up a bit but no idea what the training salary is sorry!

Oh right, well anything close to that would be great. Thanks anyway.

I am really interested in this sort of job but I would just like to know the salary so I could then potentially plan my life whilst I would be training. I have to call them up today for something else, so I was thinking I could ask them what the salary was then, but at the same time I don't really like the thought of how it would sound from their end if I'm honest.
