    As a Weapon Technician, your primary responsibilities are to arm the fighter and bomber aircraft with weapons and to make sure that all the weapons management and release systems are in full working order. Most Weapon Technicians spend their first tour of duty working on operational flying squadrons, helping with ground-handling tasks and preparing the aircraft for the next flight. Like all engineering personnel working on a flying squadron, you may get the chance to work overseas.

    The RAF’s technician training earns you a National Engineering Certificate at Level 3 and an Advanced Apprenticeship, including an NVQ Level 3. Whatever your skills when you join, you can be sure of getting valuable training in a specialist trade.
