I am totally in agreement with the requirement to formalise the training element of defined trainees posts, but BAJR should take care about using the description 'Apprentice' to cover such posts. 'Apprentice' has a specific legal interpretation linked to a contractual and qualification framework (NVQ through to degree level) and probably wouldn't be appropriate to most archaeological training......
