Which factor is NOT considered when tracking an NEAT apprentice’s progress?

When tracking an NEAT apprentice’s progress, practical assessments, training logs, and evaluations are key components that provide structured and measurable ways to gauge an apprentice's skill development and learning milestones. Practical assessments often involve hands-on demonstrations of skills, ensuring that the apprentice can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. Training logs serve as a record of what skills have been developed and what training has been completed, providing a comprehensive overview of the apprentice's progress over time. Evaluations reflect feedback from instructors or supervisors regarding the apprentice’s abilities and areas for improvement.

Peer opinions, while they may offer some insights into an apprentice's teamwork or interpersonal skills, are not typically a formalized or systematic measure of progress in the context of apprenticeship tracking. They lack the structured criteria and accountability that practical assessments and evaluations provide, making them less reliable for assessing an apprentice's progress in a formal training program. Thus, peer opinions are not considered a foundational aspect of tracking an apprentice's development in the NEAT program.
