What an apprenticeship actually is
An apprenticeship is the route to a recognised trade. It runs considerably longer than a learnership and ends in a trade test at an accredited trade test centre — a practical examination you either pass or repeat. Passing is what makes you an artisan; time served alone does not.
How apprenticeships work: the week, the qualification and where it leads →Watch out for this
Check that the employer is accredited to train your trade and that your logbook is being signed as you go. Apprentices who discover an unsigned logbook near the end of the term lose months waiting for a trade test date.
