TRAINING IN THE CONSERVATION OF PAINTINGS In the Advanced Course for students of postgraduate standing, we would expect that some students would be able to claim their maintenance by State Bursaries from the Department of Education and Science; others might be employed as salaried trainees; others might receive specially endowed scholarships. 35
4. Training already available in the U.K. Training in the Conservation of Paintings 58. We give here a brief description of the provision of training in conservation of paintings and drawings in this country today; further details of the courses are given in Appendix C. (a) Apprenticeships (1) Public Institutions The National Gallery, Tate Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, National Maritime Museum, National Galleries of Scotland, Bristol City Art Gallery and others, train their assistants as necessary, in their own studios. The length of the apprenticeship in these institutions cannot be exactly determined, since it varies with the amount of the trainee's previous experience. It may be anything between three and six years; but it is a continuing process during which the trainee, who receives a salary throughout from the institution concerned, gradually becomes useful to his teacher. The moment at which full responsibility is attained depends on the trainee's ability, on staff vacancies and on the work involved, and cannot be exactly fixed. Students at the National Gallery, Tate Gallery, and Victoria and Albert Museum under the Government Temporary Training Scheme (see paragraph 24) receive the same training as those training for service in the same institution, but their training is limited to four years for a student at 20-25 years of age. They also receive a salary as though they were members of the establishment, since the DES does not recognise the museums and galleries as 'institutions of further education' for training purposes, and the students are therefore not eligible for DES or LEA grants. (2) Independent Restorers It is normal for independent restorers to train their assistants in much the same way as the institutions mentioned above, paying them a salary during training. 36
