Lets just put this one to bed. Do you think the training your getting is anywhere near as good as a proper apprenticeship? if the answer is yes your a bloody fool mate.
why dont you go and do a proper NVQ 2 & 3 seen as your able to gain a portfolio? then you will gain respect in the heating industry off your fellow pros

take no notice of these idiots going on about 4 year apprentices, i can't speak about these college becuse they do seem like a rip off, but its all about desire.
these ppl who are going on about apprentices know for a fact the only time they picked up a tool in the first year was to go an put it back in the box, an then they made tea for the 2nd.
i for one would rather work with some one who really wanted to work, an was keen to learn even if they had only been doing it for 5 mins then to some dope who had served a four year apprenticship, who thought he knew it all.
so like i said its about how much you want it, dosn't matter where u start as long as u start somewhere

When i was 18 i got a heating job about once or twice a month when they were busy. Had to finish in 4 days because i had Monday's at collage. Was married at 18 so needed the money. Rest of the time was spent learning the rest of my trade from experienced tradesmen on apprentice rates which at that time 2nd year was about 60p/hr. Did all sorts of work from schools/factories to leadwork domestic plumbing and heating. Heating was where the money was though. Finished collage after 3rd year then missed a year and went back for another 3 yrs and did advanced and mechanical services technician. I then turned into a heating job a day beast for the next 12 or so years.
I think i can safely say i served my time
