Can you tell me more about the AAC role and career options.

I'm looking to go to Harrogate and my choice of REME Aircraft Technician isn't available, I've been offered AAC Ground Crew as they have said this is the nearest similar option. Can you please tell me a bit more about this role/job and the opportunities available if I accepted this offer. Many thanks
