Any red seal fabricators here?

I got sponsored as an apprentice by my workplace and started the registration process to find out the first available course for first year has a 2 year waiting list and the closest school that offers the program is 2 hours away from me...


Have any of you challenged any of the years? I'm looking into challenging my first year to get the ball rolling a little faster but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not
