An apprentice has to be 60% of the lowest paid journeyman, and if you don’t go to school every 24 months they kick you out.
There’s so many differences between countries on this that I think you both are arguing ineffectively.
In the US, there are union jobs that require apprenticeships and labor hours. There are also plenty of companies that will hire non-union workers with no certs. There’s a lot of variance.
It’s the same here, but the schooling and the cert make it so it’s not a piece of paper, and that’s universal. Places without schooling (looking at you USA) are the different ones.
I think most would agree it’s better to require a certain amount of schooling for any trade.
The user you’re arguing with is from Australia though.
There’s a large variance in requirements depending on the country you’re working in.
Nothing they’ve stated doesn’t also happen here, it’s why I asked where they were. If they were located in the US, they would partly have a point.
But Australias system is pretty good.

That sounds like a far better system then, so definitely explains the difference in quality.
