Mechanic Training
If I remember rightly - my Mechanics Course at St Athan in 1969/70 was;
16 x 5 day working weeks, each consisting of a 8 hour working day, this was both theory and practical.
Including 8 Hours of PT/Sport per week including Wednesday afternoons.
So that comes out at 512 Hours of trade instruction. I think!
Plus the odd Saturday morning parade!
This was followed some years later (In my case 1974) by a Further Training Course to Technician level consisting of;
A 26 x 5 day working week each consisting go a 8 hour working day, this was both theory and practical.
Including 10 weeks x 4 hours 'Education' learning various theories and such like.
Including 8 Hours of PT/Sports per week including Wednesday afternoons.
So that comes out at 792 Hours of trade instruction. I think!
Plus the odd Saturday morning parade.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
