The current UK training system for apprentices is, I believe, in need of change. It is very easy to criticise something without forwarding a reasonable alternative. May I ask you contractors out there if you feel that your apprentices are a useful commodity in your enterprise? Do you feel that they might be better at work every day rather than being released for up to two days per week? Should the apprentice himself be actively seeking theoretical training in his own time and at his own expense?
