Hi all, thinking about getting into plumbing, just wondered what the going rate is for apprenticeships? Does it then increase the more experience increases? Thanks.

£4 to £8 depending on level and experience.
Finding a position is difficult. Whatever you do don't pay for a course yourself. if you can't get a position now you won't after youve paid for your own training. You'll just be poorer with no experience useful to an employer.

£4 an hour is illegal due to minimum wage is it not?
IIRC the minimum wage doesn't always apply to 16 - 18 yr old trainees.
Edit - Just checked the figures - the minimum is £3.40 for employees 16 - 18 yrs , £4.80 for 18 - 21 yrs and £5.22 over 22.
Apprentices under 19 do not qualify for minimum wage.
Apprentices over 19 do not qualify for first 12 months.
