I'm an Apprentice @ a small dealership in southern Ontario. I've been in this industry for 6 years now. I've completed the Level one in school portion of the apprenticeship, which was meshed into the "heavy duty truck and highway truck" course. The second and third levels of this apprenticeship are specific to Lift Trucks. The problem is, I've been waiting for over 4 years for these courses to start, and they can't because there simply is not enough students to run the course. The minimum req' is 18. Last time I checked, which was a year ago. They only had 10.

Right now I'm kind of stuck in limbo. I have all the req' hours to complete the apprenticeship, but without the in school portion of it. The only option I have is to skip that, and challege the equivilency test. I don't want to be an apprentice forever. Just waisting my time. Is this a problem in other parts of the world aswell?
