Here, I'll quote another description of the Subclass that I translated. "You can learn under a person of another subclass (i.e. a Scribe) and learn low-level skills from them. Afterwards, you can change to that subclass and keep all the EXP you gained."

So you keep the skills and experience of the subclass that you ultimately choose. But for the ones that you don't, you lose access to their skills. I also need to reread volume 5 to see what level skills Apprentices can learn, since as you can read from the quote above, that one only says low-level skills.

(And as an aside, it seems like some subclasses can only be acquired by going through Apprentice first, like the Secretary subclass where the Apprentice trains under an Assistant.)
