Thanks Jason - I'll shortly be onboarding some new developers under an apprenticeship scheme. There are quite a few things you mention that I think will really help them get the most out of it. Not sure if this might be possible, but it would be really helpful to see the checklist and documentation you mention. All the best, Gwyn
