True story. I did a five year apprenticeship in the FAA in the early 70’s. Part way through the third year of the course by which time it’s fair to say that while far from being qualified, we didn’t count ourselves as being totally without skills. We had to do a whole day session on how to use a hammer. The instructor recognised that this was stupid, signed us off as having passed and let us catch up on revision, homework etc. So as they say, anything is possible
