Day 3

Today is the first day of classes at P&W. We left the hotel at about 8.20am and travelled by coach to P&W. It was a short 20-minute journey. In the morning, we were briefed about workplace safety at P&W and we were given a tour of the training facilities. After lunch, we started on our first lesson on "Introduction to Jet Engine".
