There a quite a few LAME's in Qantas who never did an apprenticeship, just did 10 basics and with a bit of good timing ended up on a company course.

P.S. you need 11 basics to sit a type course

qualified AME then did 10 meaningless aircraft mechanical theory exams and 1 air legislation exam
So we agree that you need 11 basics. I believe all lames served an apprenticeship in some trade. You unblock toilets and fit engines well you cant be from sydney then.
P.S. the pastry chef was an inhouse joke and I should not have used it, sorry cj
