Yep, wasted 6 months of my life, it in no way helped me get a job, nor did it save time in anyway at the later stage!

What state are you in. Are you an apprentice now

Im in VIC, have been qualified for 7 years now, even after doing a 6 month Pre Vocational course within Tafe it helped in no way cutting back the 4 year time frame for my apprentiship, i would have been better of just starting my apprentiship the 6months earlier!

My advice is start the prevoc but apply for apprenticeships while you do it. it might make it easier to get an apprenticeship because you've shown an interest in the field but there is no real advantage in finishing the prevoc except that you spend less of your 4 years at trade school which only save your boss money.

yeah, it's a small taste of what you can expect when a apprentice, some of the subjects you will ask wtf am i doing studying this. some will plain bore you. either way, concentrate and dont be afraid to ask questions, drama with alot of the young fella's is they beleive the wrong thing, come time for trade test, you fail.

each state is different though. good luck and enjoy, you will reap the rewards when your finished.

yeah mate i done it what state are you in yeah as garth said some will bore the **** out of u but serious pay attention and it does take time off that 6 months full time is the first year apprenticeship schoolinggggg so when u start your apprentice ship u will be still a first year but second year in schooling PAY ATTENTION seriously lol dont forget the old stuff and dont skip classes they will fail u
