Oh, I very much agree. But at least they must have given him a good basic training at Torchwood One, as he seems to know how to use a gun (unlike stupid Gwen at frist), and he's great with computers, too. Remember, in the pilot it was him and not Tosh who hacked Gwen's PC from the Hub.
In one of the Season 2 episodes he mentions that his father was a master tailor, and somewhere else is mentioned that he was "an able student, if nothing extraordinary" before joining TW1, so he must be at least a university graduate, although the writers mess up his personal timeline saying that he was born in 1983. With working for TW1 for 2 years already, it barely gives him enough time to have some decent studies, eh?
Timeline consistency - like steady characterization - doesn't seem to be the strength of the writers. We're lucky that the actors are so talented.
