My son [and apprentice] was on practical at College today and last Monday and wanted me to post these pictures as he was quite proud of his efforts. I gave him some praise and a little bit of constructive criticism too. :smile: Not at all bad for a 16 year old though. :smile:

Hi Dave you should be proud of him. What did you pull him up on ?

Only on the clipping of the T&E mate, the bends aren't quite flat and I like to see the clips facing in towards each other where there are two cables, some may argue better to have space between though. :smiley2: Minor details I know but I'm setting him high standards, can't fault the bit of PVC conduit though.

Ha, exactly what drew my eye too.
Tell the lad he is off to a great start and to nurture the obvious pride in his work he is showing already.
 
Very good .O yes brings back memory's trying to fix things in those cubicals using warn out slotted screws with a cheep college screw driver , think those back boxes have seen some action :)

Nice to see high quality standards, at least he knows where he stands.

Yes this i what i noticed. A very good effort though all the same.

Some of the practical work done by classmates at my college was questionable to say the least. It is all practice at the end of the day. :smile:
