A/P via apprenticeship?

[Fly_Unity]

Hey, Im working at a FBO and helping on the maintenance side when Im not flying, the A&P there said to count my hours I worked cause then after so many hours he will sign me off so I can take the test.

my questions are:

how many hours do I need?
any other requirements?
Once I take the written test, Am I an A/P?
What if I do so many hours, and quit this job, does these hours count if I decide to take it up again with another company? or do I have to start all over again?


Thanks

Be at least 18 years of age, be able to read, write, speak, and understand English.

There are three written tests: General, Airframe, Powerplant. After you take the writtens, you have to take an oral and practical test with an examiner. He will issue you the certificate.

Yes.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
