    Yeah, I can be left unsupervised to do the work, they don't have a problem with that. I could potentially put myself through tickets, but I would struggle to get the time off for it, just with how holidays are working out in the squads just now. Also yeah, I agree after doing alot of thinking, that it seems they hired an 'apprentice' as a way for cheap labour.

    I was expecting that, or for courses to be done by a training company. Which it seems more likely to be the latter from what the previous talks have said. Getting a full minimum wage which is more that I expected, so I'm happy with that for the time being.

    Went to the ops manager and they said that I would get tickets by some date, that came and gone, then another date and it just keeps cycling on from there. Went to the owner fairly recently, to tell ask them and they said that there is a plan for me but nothing is booked, the same answer I got a few months ago. Starting to look else where, but I keep getting told they are looking for people with tickets.

    Hi all, Almost 2 years ago (21 months), I got a new job in the tree industry, the job was advertised as an apprenticeship. When I started with the company, I was told that they would put me through my main tickets, to this day I haven't gained any tickets, not even for a chipper. I've had in house training with the squads to the point where I know I can use a saw, chipper and hedger and general labouring jobs. I have been told on many occasions that I would have a ticket by a certain date but those dates have just came and gone with nothing. I approched my managers asking what is happening with the apprenticeship and everytime I do, I feel like the just blow me off quite quickly. Recently, I have considered putting myself through tickets or leaving and try go somewhere else but I have never followed through with these ideas. Anyone got any advice on what I am best doing next? TIA
