    My apprenticeship is 4 years long and I work 36 hours a week, then need to do the learning and academic work which is around an additional 35 hours a week.

    I’m just rolling into year 4 and I’m pretty tired now.

    I’m also the only one left, everyone else who started in my cohort has dropped out because of the workload.
