I started my plumbing apprenticeship when I turned 16 in 1993 and served my time (4 years) working for my dads small plumbing business,as soon as I started college I quickly realised I had an advantage over most of my class mates,that being they were not being trained the way I was,my dad took his time to show me the correct way to do things and allowing me to try things right from the beginning of my training,allowing me to make mistakes early on and learn from them and allow me to repeat it until I understood it and could do it on my own.Where as a lot of my college classmates were being used like labourers and not having time spent with them to show them the correct way to do the job or even being allowed to do the work as there tradesmen didn’t trust them,didn’t want them slowing the job down as it either caused them to have to work later to finish the job or they didn’t make as much money if they were on price work. As soon as I turned 17 and got my driving license I was sent to the small jobs myself (in my fiesta lol) from doing this I had to problem solve on the job this was hard at the time but was best for me in the long run. I live in Airdrie and will travel 1hour in any direction. Thanks for taking the time to read this
