This year we have 2 third year apprentices. Neither of them can fit a
back box straight, wire up a two way lightswitch etc etc.
Could I suggest that being able to wire up a two way lightswitch should be an *entry criterion* to being an electrical apprentice?
Fairly sure I could have done it at 16.
In fact I was probably doing it about 8, with a battery and paperclips and brass paper fasteners for switches :-)
If someone hasn't got to that stage by 16, where is the evidence of their interest and ability?

Admittedly my back boxes aren't always straight, but I blame the bricks...
