My apprenticeship is four years long. I spend 3 years in college doing my City and Guids 2330 Level 2&3 and my NVQ Level 2. I then do my NVQ level 3 in my 4th year.
So yesterday the 3 years of college came to an end. I finished my final exam (City and Guilds 2330-301) with a Distinction.
I can't understand where time has gone. As quick as a week starts it's finished. I'm sat here now looking at a calender trying to work out how the hell it's Friday?
Before I started college I remember my training adviser showing me a gantt chart explaining what qualifications we will be doing and when. Back then I found it daunting and thought it was a massive amount of work, but in the blink of an eye it's gone!
It's not something I wanted to do when I started and 3 years later I must admit it's still not something I want to do. BUT! I enjoy going to work every day and the guys I work with are a good laugh and It's a rare occasion when I feel sick of work.
Now I have to try plan the next 2 years.
I'm hoping I can finish my NVQ 3 and my AM2 by the end of the summer. Also sometime through the summer I want to do inspection and testing. Then come September I should be starting my HNC. So still plenty more to do.
