Traditionally 1 day a week at college with a experienced and trained teacher and the other 4 with a experienced and trained plumber, right?
The reason the college is included is presumably a recognition that the plumber isn't qualified to teach and at any rate is unlikely to have any real familiarity with the minutae of the current syllabus. So you won't pass your exams with only his help.
So imagine if the hyperthetical plumber you worked with on jobs was also your college teacher. Who hyperthetically was both a current working plumber and a trained and experienced teacher.
Would you still need 4/5 years to become fully qualified? It certainly wouldn't be 4 weeks. But might it be more like 1 year?
Do you think this scenario ever occurs anywhere? Like in big companies? Would it ever be workable as a training idea? Or would there just be no plumbers who would like to both work teaching and plumbing?
Probably a silly thought with a billion problems, just musing out loud.
