Health & safety policy in big companies is stop apprentices getting involved. It puts mental health issues on the apprentices and their mentors as they do not develop the skills need to pass the AM2s and complete their portfolio. Also the portfolios there seems no benefit for the colleges to get the apprentices through this. It just costs the colleges money. These are young person lives, I find it so frustrating and upsetting . Having apprentices in big companies seems a tax relief and a LinkedIn PR dream. We need good sparks for the future infrastructure of this country and it seems training and apprentices are just business. I love the work you are doing Mark and hopefully with more persons involved things will improve.

All exams taken would be recorded and stored to ether EAL or City and guilds sites.
