Driving Apprenticeships

Bigmick7:
Im on a apprentiship with wincanton, have to be carefull because they give you donkey work to do, mine was warehouse picking for bnq while waiting for class 2 lessons and test which took 5-6 months on dead end wages. Just passed class 2 and are moving to wilko to be a driver now.

They have paid for everything though: medical, lessons, cpc, given time off for lessons and to complete paperwork aswell

And this is likely the problem with most of the apprenticeships. They’ll give you most of the crap work because they know they’ve got you tied in for 2 years or whatever period they’ve specified.

I’ve been fortunate that my employer has funded mine but I’m also not tied to the company. Today is actually my last day before I start my new driving job on Monday.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do though.
