Yeah, 4 year apprenticeship… We do blocks of TAFE, so twice a year the apprentice heads off to TAFE for 5 weeks to do book learning + classroom practical. At the end of 4 years you do a capstone test which tests you on everything - practical and theory and making sure you’re not a total shxtcxnt. Culmination of your time basically.
I got work ATM, but out of interest what’s involved in being/becoming a fridgie?
It’s pretty much a combination of electrical, plumbing, and gasfitting I guess.
You make stuff cold, and sometimes hot.
Sounds kinda rad tbh! Apprenticeship based to get training?
