Re: Hi hiya
my names lee i was just going through the site before i posy anything and see this so i though i would give it my 10 pence worth
this course you are on about for gettig a 16th edition qualification can be done and i can put the money i spent on doing the course on it!!
but i should point out that these course will give you just what you need to get the qualification and nothing else! as great as they sound you really should be asking around and trying to see if the work is out there
speakin from my won point of view i've left the factory shift work and the lot to get out of the rat race and give me something to help me leave the uk for good(my dream) but now finding a job that i need to make my new skills work. To be honest is just not there! when you are on the phone asking for work you will find yourself being laughed at for getting such a trade in a few weeks. . .when it come to doing 1st and 2nd fix theres nothing i can not do. I've been working this kinda thing for a while. but still no one wants to give you a job with no real experiance the thing is as it is with everything you do your not going to get it if no ones going to give you the chance to work
The best thing i can say as happend to someone on the course with me is find someone thats willing to give you a job before you sit such a course the person that trained with me the day that we passed they phoned there friend and was offered a job 150pound a day. They was open and honest with the person that give them the job that hands on skill was very low but this was the same person that said to my training partner (pass your 16th edition and i'll give you a job)
You will be lucky to find yourself in such a posstion i think
The nearest i have come to getting a job is one that is willing to pay me 22pound per hour(not that i'm after that kinda money just now more like someone to take me under there wing if you like) but i have to go self employed with less that 3 months of being a sparky under my belt
if i was oging to put a quote on this i'd say the moneys there just that that faith is not!!
All the best if your trying to better yourself, you can not be blamed for trying!!
P.S if you have any questions about a 16th edition course i dont know how much help i can give but what i have i'm willing to share
sorry for long post
