So basically, I signed up for an apprenticeship with a company and they gave me these conditions I need to meet, in order for my application to be successful, so they sent me to one their training providers who train their apprentices they told me I need to pass the training providers initial assessment in order to get an interview with them (the company) they gave me two of their training providers I went to one them yesterday and the initial assessment was fairly simple but the part i struggled in the most was the maths to be fair given the fact that I’m not good at maths.

How is this going mate? Just curious.

I have to retake the initial assessment, didn’t meet the mark for it.

Booo unlucky mate. Don't know if our sponsor www.xstraining.com could help. Might be worth sending them an email.

What did you not reach? Was it something they instructed you in during your course?

I am always dubious about these training providers, it's in their interest to prolong your attendance.

The pass mark was 75%, for electrical since it’s a technical trade and I got a mark of 57% so they said I have to resit the assessment. The assessment was out of 60
