    Hi just wondering what the story is of late with colour vision testing when applying for an apprenticeship.. I know there are some older posts about this but none of late. Only this year has the rule come in for passing the ishihara test for plumbing (suprisingly) ..

    I know that I have a very slight red/green deficiency but have no trouble whatsover distinguishing the colours via wiring/general items etc. So I was just wondering if I would be given the ok to complete an apprenticeship and was wondering how strictly they take it.

    I imagine it's done the same way as an electrical apprenticeship where you have to pass the Ishihara test and submit it to Fas in order to get registered

    I know it's a disgrace, I would understand maybe if I only could see in black and white haha, but all of my uncles aswell are plumbers for the past 30+ years and have never come across anything like it.
