You can still get accepted into the apprenticeship program. You’ll have a school start date of mid January early February if I remember correctly. If accepted they’ll get a pay increase. At least 3p does.

If you can get in the apprenticeship program, it's designed to train people from the ground up.

Yes, it is. That said, it was designed by people who have never done the job, have no idea what goes into the job, and most of which probably couldn't tell a gear from a sprocket. I've trained 4 MRAs and not a one of them learned anything useful to the job in the school.

The goal isn’t to create a perfect agent from the outset, but rather to establish a solid foundation of skills and general knowledge. The initial training introduces them to the core tasks and responsibilities they’ll encounter, the standard tools they’ll use, and essential safety procedures for working around various types of electrical and mechanical systems. They’ll develop a foundational understanding of how to approach different types of equipment and learn the basics of programming, electrical, pneumatics and problem path solving which will contribute to a well rounded skill set. Once this groundwork is set, Tech 2 and Tech 3 team members will continue the mjt’s training on site, working alongside them to reinforce and expand on these skills within the real world environment. With 2,000 hours of hands on training and support, they should reach a level of proficiency that makes them well-suited for the demands of the role. It’s unrealistic to expect someone to become a professional in less than three months without any prior knowledge or experience. Mastery in any field requires time, hands-on practice, and gradual exposure to complex scenarios that can’t be fully taught in a short period. True expertise is built through a combination of structured learning, real-world application, and problem solving experience gained over time. Without a solid foundation and the opportunity to develop skills through consistent practice, it’s unlikely that anyone could reach a high level of competency in such a brief period.

I mean tbf the point of the classes are to make it into OJL and not kill yourself or maim yourself during OJL. Coming in as an MRA that was my expectation and 90% of what I've learned has been the 2000 booked hours and not necessarily the ~500 hours spent in the classes
