Apprentices are known as a free resource through out teams, some wish to milk us by giving us higher jobs as they don' have to pay us while others actually assist us in growing

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

it's an okay pay, everyone wants more but I think in regards to other apprenticeships its a very good pay, but I had to move to London to be closer to work, plus travel and everything you realise all your salary goes into trying to feed and keep a roof above your head.

Be prepared...you will be put into a team full of people you might or might not get along with, some will see you as an hindrance to their jobs while others will see you as a free resource they can dump jobs on, be prepared and stay strong. Also talk to your apprentice leader
