    I’ve been looking for options, and got an interview a couple of days ago. I got the impression that the majority of my time would be spent working rather than training, which is what I expected. Is this the way it works?

    • Yes this is. The idea of an apprenticeship is that you learn through practice while getting some ‘formal’ or ‘more theoretical’ training as you go along. In many ways you’re treated as a full time worker, and per average you work at least 30h/week. I hope this helps.

      • Thanks Jamie. So does this mean that you get holidays and other benefits just like a perm worker?

        • Exactly. As I say, you spend most of your time in the workplace and gets treated pretty much like a permanent employee.
