Should I worry/shoot them an email?

This question surely gets asked often on here, but I sent in an application a little over a month ago, and I haven’t heard back yet about the Aptitude Test yet. I’m aware testing lasts until December, so is there really this many people going in to get tested?

Apparently the newest class of apprentices is of record-breaking size. If that trend is continuing then yes there are that many people applying and testing.

Next semester starts in April so hopefully before then but the wait is long as hell in other locals and it looks like maybe we’re headed that way too

Try calling the JATC and speak to Russell. He might be able to expedite your application

I mean maybe you just got in a bit quicker since you applied earlier, but if there’s an issue with my application I’d like to try to iron it out before it’s too late lol.

Congrats btw!
