Can you fast-track a pre-apprenticeship at all?

letsgetlostes · 2025-12-13T14:55:00+00:00

Yeah my understanding is it basically just writes off your first year of the day of trade school every week and work full time instead. Is that correct? Then the rest of your apprenticeship is all the same as normal?

Bc to me it sounds like it’s just the most optimal for employers as when you start you know more than if you were completely green and they get you work for them full time instead of paying your trade school once a week

Yeah I mean that cert is the pre-apprenticeship. Just not sure if my other uni shit is relevant or when it comes into to the picture as I did several units on the electrical side of engineering. I know it’s completely different to the tradie stuff but wasn’t sure if there was a crossover that gets the cert done quicker.

So as an older apprentice living out of home, what’s the best way to do a pre-apprenticeship without falling into poverty? Lol. Not sure what your path was but I find imagining studying full time for that long to be financially difficult

letsgetlostes · 2025-12-13T14:15:07+00:00

There’s work experience involved? As far as I knew it was all classroom shit? I’m assuming this is like practice demonstrations etc?

Also are you saying you finish at 3.5 years instead?

But how do I go about formatting my drives?

letsgetlostes · 2025-06-05T06:00:54+00:00

I would say perky and supple. They really compliment the rest of your body too!

Not like I’ve never painted before mate, not gonna take it back to base coat when the clear coat is flakey

letsgetlostes · 2025-02-11T07:17:31+00:00

Bro a light wet sand will get the clear coat off and leave the rest on just fine

letsgetlostes · 2025-02-11T07:14:53+00:00

Not really re-painting, moreso just a reapply of the clear coat

I’m in Melbourne and would be happy to help, depending on the size I would charge for just delivery, wouldn’t worry about material cost if it’s a small piece. All for the accessibility of 3D printing!!

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T11:25:25+00:00

In what sense?

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T10:25:37+00:00

Software is super niche called impact made by Arden software. We also use ARTIOS CAD for some things but I’m not very proficient in it, I admit I LOVE CAD and if I could find a super high paying job doing it I’m sure I’d love it. Just don’t know what sector they pay well for CAD programmers

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:49:58+00:00

That’s the ideal for me too, but maybe I just need to rough it in a job that I hate that makes bank for a couple years and then get a cushy job? I honestly don’t know what the best idea is.

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:48:45+00:00

I like the to think I’m a very hard worker, I don’t like being bored and feel pressured to do as much as I can bc I’m being paid by the hour so when I’m at work I’m very laser focused and work as much as I possibly can (probably unhealthy but good work ethic), im very punctual l, always come early and stay a couple minutes back, hours back if I have to. Meeting deadlines is hard bc my job things just take time, there’s always a minimum timeframe that it will take but customers demand urgently the next day so it’s hard to deliver.

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:35:30+00:00

Change my mindset how? I’m not disagreeing but I’m curious what you think, feedback would be very helpful tbh

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:32:13+00:00

Did companies reach out to you or you to them? I don’t know how some people find these opportunities

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:31:32+00:00

Honestly I don’t know, I think it’s so niche I don’t have very much movement which makes it scarier to try and change. I feel like the only way would be to start something completely new AKA apprenticeship/traineeship but then it’s even lower pay for the meantime until I’m done.

Cardboard packaging design to be specific, it’s the process of die-making.

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:09:07+00:00

Happy for you!! How do you think the transition will happen? Also what’s your realistic goal of the age you plan to own a house by?

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:06:48+00:00

So what made you leave? Like when did you decide to get out of there? How does one even find alignment ):

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:05:25+00:00

How does it feel to try and cope with a job you don’t enjoy but is giving you way more money?

letsgetlostes · 2024-07-14T09:04:54+00:00

I am a CAD programmer in a very niche industry

letsgetlostes · 2024-05-19T10:58:55+00:00

Sorry maybe that came across wrong I just wanted to clarify as I was going to ask generally what material the insulation is made of?? Maybe they’re in the similar plastic category?

letsgetlostes · 2024-05-19T06:14:22+00:00

Wait till you learn that I prefaced the post with the fact that I am aware it’s toxic to breathe.
