Example, for someone earning $35 per hour and books 85 hours, they get paid $37 x 85. If you book 111 hours you would be paid $40 x 111. An A level technician is experienced and is the person who is training others, not the one being trained. Everyone needs help sometimes, and as a team we all contribute ideas if needed. The level A tech is a leader and typically operates without guidance. How much you earn is up to you. If you put in the time and work hard there are no limits on earnings.
