Leon, having read through the post I get the impression that it's not really an apprenticeship you are doing but more on job training which will lead to you being able to operate the machine.
What are you actually getting out of this as far as a recognised qualification goes?? If you are doing a proper apprenticeship then you would probably have to be attending college once or twice a week where you would be learning all the theoretical stuff you need to know, very very few companies have the ability to do this sort of thing inhouse these days which is why you would need to go to college.

Yeah i get where your coming from, i do sometimes feel that im there as a spare part, but as everyones said, its just part and parcel.
Id consider it a 'proper' apprenticeship as it is a recognised scheme and i do go to college everyweek, to do both the practical and theory side of manual milling, turning and CAD. Im 100% going to stick it out atleast untill im Levell 2 qualified and then maybe try and move on. Dont think ill get a much better grounding than where im at. (Sh*ithole, broken machines etc)
thanks for the luck, dare say ill need it, trying to make the best of being enthusiastic while i still am haha

HI, as ive just mentioned, i do go college once aweek aswell as on the job training. The qualification im doing at the moment is Level 2 in milling turning and CAD (cant think of the awarding body). With an option of going on to do level 3 but im unsure if this would benifit me in the long run, rather than going to get more expeirence running a machine of my own/ better on the job training (traniee job rather than apprenticeship).
thanks for you reply, appreticate it all! :)
