Apprenticeship openings for electricians and welders - 14 months and counting

A local apprenticeship programme is taking applicants for the next intake. It has been a long 8 weeks. The application needs a diploma or equivalent, a driver's licence and a short aptitude test. Did anyone go through it?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
