Apprentice Pat Tester. Is This For Real.

That's what I was paid in 1964.

@Pete999 apprenticeships are different rates and sadly that is probably the legal rate.

Slight misconception - Apprenticeships are only legally exempt for the first year and only if the Apprentice is under a certain age (19?).

Apprentices are minimum wage of £3.50 per hour for the first year of their apprenticeship - regardless of age.

Whatever the rate that can be paid may be unclear,but what is perfectly clear is that unscrupulous companies can and will pay as little as circumstances and the law will allow

Taking the pee out of our young by paying slave wage rates and conning them with blatant lying about the value of the job,it will not shake their morals, for they possess none at the outset,they are little more than scumbags

Apprentice PA tester well thats a trade to get into, cheap labour for a year is what that is. Each to there own i suppose but it does not take a year to train somebody to test portable appliances the qualification is only 2 days at a good college. experience not necessary as you would have shot yourself after the first few weeks.
