I do that job somewhere else, and if its any help the usual sort of tests when recruiting apprentices are on arithmatic, logic (problem solving) and spacial awareness (they show you a diagram of a shape laid out flat and you choose what it would look like in 3D - if you know what i mean!)
Then a hands on test - mine was wirebending to match a shape and wiring a plug!
Then an interview where they asked me about turbofan engines, any mechanical experience at all (i used cars as my example-had to give them a step by step guide on how to change the brake pads on a corsa!) Then try an identify bits from an engine.
So try and do a bit of research on the company, engines they do (RB211) and practice ur maths as youll be pushed for time in the tests, which is one way of weening out the slower/thicker/useless applicants.
not saying this is how they do it, they could be completely different but it might help.
Good luck!
If you get it, once qualified money in this field is very good, but is dying over here...you'll never be short of kudos if your willing to work abroad
