Keep at it mate
An apprenticeship is just one way of achieving your goals. Find a good college, you will make contacts and gain experience as you go, I wish you the best of luck

Up untill 11 years ago I was mainly a refrigeration engineer but started doing all my own associated electrical installation as most of the sparks I got in had difficulty understanding what I wanted control wise,local colleges, internet,distance learning, are all of the resources I used so it is not immpossible and whereby like me you wont ever get all the quals available I would not let it be a barrier.

Go for it, the domestic market is the easiest route to become a spark all be it with limited knowledge, but you could always break in to other fields depending on you ambitions and drive.
