Ive just taken an apprentice for the first time on a couple of weeks trial. He's only 16 and has done his first 6 weeks at Guildford college. He has shown me his lovely pictures of bending and soldering but I'm afraid my daily routine is way over what he has been taught. I've been constantly asking him bs questions just simple stuff. Are there any college instructors out there who can point me in the right direction as to what I'm supposed to be asking. He's now changed a pcb on a Baxi back boiler but I don't think he knows why and also a sensing rod on a similar Baxi unit, again he has no idea why he changed it he just done as he was told after I completed fault finding. Do I go through 6700 as a start point or do I just hand him a copy of water regs and corgi/viper and tell him "read"? Softly softly or get on with it you little bugger? I'm quite a patient chap but am I pushing too far too early? He's a good lad and he's keen but do I get him do do gas rate calcs now or wait till he done it in college?
