Apprentices can be a valuable addition to any electrical business. Some are hard working, some might struggle with basic terms and definitions whilst others will go on to become fully qualified electricians after completing all their training. Whilst most take their jobs very seriously, there is no harm in having a little fun with some apprentice nicknames so we’ve taken the time to compile a list of the funniest apprentice nicknames in Australia that we could find across the internet.
