I choose leatherworking as a profession for my character. The trainers do not show "Apprentice" level in their dialog. Yet I cannot become a Journeyman even though I am level 45 character because it requires level 50 leatherworking, and I am at level ZERO leatherworking because no one will sell me a pattern.
Is this a glitch, or by design? I have asked GMs twice, and they don't even respond to the ticket - I don't even know if they see the ticket.
Why is there no such thing as Apprentice leatherworking? It does not appear in my GUI.
I have done some info searching, and I read somewhere that I had to wait until level 45 to get a starter pattern for a "Light Armor Kit". Well, I am level 45 now, and no kit.
Can anyone advise me?
When you first go to a trainer and get leatherworking. you get patterns. Chances are good that you already know some items that will get you higher levels.
Did you read the FAQ at all? I don't think you did, because you didn't note this:

Q. What are the requirements for trade skills?
A. You can start getting trade skills at level 5. If you need to find a trainer, ask a guard (they'll put a flag on your mini-map if you ask under "Professions"). There are tiers for skills:
Level 5 - maximum skill is 75 (Apprentice - need to be at least 50 to raise).
Level 10 - maximum skill is 150 (Journeyman - need to be at least 125 to raise).
Level 20 - maximum skill is 225 (Expert - need to be at least 200 to raise).
Level 35 - maximum skill is 300 (Artisan - need to be at least 275 to raise).
Level 50* - maximum skill is 375 (Master) - Primary professions can only train in the Outlands so the account must be Burning Crusade enabled.
* Level 45 minimum required for Fishing, and level 35 required for Cooking/First Aid.
