So I've been employed at my work as a semi skilled operator for a year now, we are industrial heating engineers building heat exchangers driers etc
Anyway they have now offered me a place as an apprentice engineer, I'm being trained as a machinist and its all old school at my work no cnc or anything and half the lathes are more than double my age lol
I'm 31 so it's a modern apprentice and most of it is all In house apart from next year where I have to go to college 2 days a week
I'll get my NC qualification and could also do my HNC in the future if all goes ok
My question is I've heard engineers who are qualified through a a modern apprentice aren't regarded as an "engineer" as such
Anyone heard that or am I being fed lies lol
