whats your job like, does it pay okay? and do you enjoy it?

is it worth working for someone else or do you work for yourself?

You must be the best paid apprentice on the planet.

11.33 qualified with my testing and inspection.

I fail to see how you are on this? You cant be qualified at 19 ?

L2 was 2 written and 4 online + 10 hours installation exam ie 4 hours planning and 6 hours in practical assessment , L3 was 4 written + 2 online + 2 hours fault finding assessment. 16th was 10 night classes followed by 2 exams one written and one online. my inspection and testing was all written exams ie 4 in total + 2 hours practical followed by on the boards fault finding.

Since leaving school ive worked hard to get where i am and tbh i think my wage is fair for how much effort ive put in

That aint the c+g course. The course is made up of 8 exams, then you do your 16th, then you do your AM2 which you never mentioned. Then your testing. What your saying is basically impossable inless you did it full time at college?

the trade can pay well if you'r good, thing you got to remember is you will have to buy tools etc but they pay for there self when you have finished your apprentership.
