how many proper apprentices

[tonys]

Nothing boring about a thread to ask opinions on apprentices.

I don't care about your age and what you have done or achieved, I'm only interested in seeing if the trade is still thriving with apprentices.

Well I'm 19 and from the west midlands, but I think their main offices are in essex, but I don't know how south they go.

There are a choice few like Dom, eager enthusiastic and want to be a spark and want to learn. However the vast majority and yes I am in a position to make such a glancing comment as there are dozens of JTL apprentices at my college, and for the most of them, they are bone idle socially inept chavs with no work ethics or enthusiasm, turn up late for near enough every lesson, sit at the back making childish comments and laughing and then slow progress for all by asking dumb obvious questions and being to thick to grasp even the basics, they then do us all proud by failing every exam they go near.

For the exceptions such as Dom and others I tip my hat to u fair play!!

I'm a teenage apprentice.

This is something that has intrigued me for a while. As an apprentice I gained the following:

C&G Electrical Technicians 2
EITB J02
EITB J22

What would the modern equivalents be?

There’s a lot more from later life but it’s the apprentice bits I’m curious about.

New ones are:

Level 2 and 3 2330
Any key skills exams if you failed some GCSE's
AM2
Work Portfolio
Your portfolio gets sent off along with your AM2, then you recieve your NVQ Level 3
Then finally you recieve a completion of apprenticeship certificate

Send all them off to the JIB and you recieve a Electrician graded JIB card even without the 17th Update exam. But i just payed for that myself because everyone should do it anyway. JTL do not provide this exam for you.
