Lufthansa Technic Shannon Training??? Career help.

Manjra

Hi there, I'm writing here cause I really need some info related to becoming and aircraft mechanic or engineer. I'm 18y/o and currently finished what you can call A-Levels. I am not from the Uk or Europe either. Now, that's just a bit about myself. What I really want to know is how do I go about becoming an aircraft mechanic or engineer. I looked at various schools in the UK and came down to Air service training in Scotland. However, they seem to be really expensive in tuition. They also don't offer the Category A license course, only the B1. So I did more research and discovered Ireland as another choice. I did some research and saw that there is this place called Lufthansa Technik Shannon which was previously Shannon Aerospace. 
Now my question is, Has anyone here trained or been to Lufthansa Technik Shannon? If so, do they offer the Part66 basic training course? Reason I am asking here is because there isn't much information on their website and the facebook page doesn't seem legit. Also, if they're doing training, is it for the Category A or B license? 
Any information for this place would be greatly appreciated. I just want to be an Aircraft engineer or mechanic. It doesn't matter if it's the A or B license.... On another note, I saw this guy who reviewed their facebook page and it looks like he is a trainee there from Bangladesh so I am also gonna message him. 
Thank you,

I'm probably not much help but I trained there and worked 92-95.

There was a two year certificate in aircraft maintenance that gave you a technician's grade.

Then you had to do your Gen Fams and type ratings for each plane family. I did 737 and DC-9/MD-80, but mostly worked on DC-9s. You could study yourself then for your basic engineering qualification after one year's experience at technician grade. That allowed you to certify other's work too, and you worked your way up from there.

I'm sure it's all changed since then, but it is generally regarded as a place with a good reputation having been set up by Swiss Air and Lufthansa. Technicians there, including myself, sometimes went to Germany to work for Lufthansa.

I know a good few of my class mates and others went on to other airlines and maintenance facilities, so it was very much seen as a feeder company for the industry.

Hopefully someone who has been there more recently will be along to tell you more.

And good luck with it. Though I left the industry shortly after, I loved the time I spent there and the skills I acquired and the people I met.

My cousin trained there and he's fairly high up with Ryanair now in Stanstead, another guy i know travels all over Europe sub contracting turning passenger aircraft into Freighters. When i went for Aer lingus a few years back the guy interviewing me trained there. Anyone i ever came in contact with that trained there done well for themselves.

Is it just Lufthansa thats serviced there now? Ive been away the past 9 years so i dont know whats going on there these days.
