 Re: TECHNIQUE TRAINING (Chesterfield)
Yep, I've been on it.
I'll give my honest opinion to you now after i've been in a job in the electrical industry for going 3 months now.
Technique training is a course which helps you get the quailfications, and helps prepare for the city and guilds exams rather good for the ammout of time you spend studying. They will also teach you the basics of electrics, and on the full 4 week course, there is 2 weeks of practical. It is basic if you compare it to the proper domestic house job. You know, ripping carpets up, moving furniture, chasing walls etc, which you aint going to get at Technique training. Have alook at the course details
Now, to finding a job!!!! I found it hard yes. I sent off about 350 letters off to companies in my area and out of my city. I got about 95% bad feedback saying there was no jobs. Had a few interviews but they wanted me to go on an appenctiship wage, which I turned down. Eventually and with some luck I got took on by a decent company who took a chance on me, there currently happy with me at the moment, but treating me as i know nothing, which i think is the perfect way to start. Because what you learn at technique training. It will not prepare you for the world outside. There is alot of correct terminology which you need to learn as you go on. Also electricians don't like these "courses for horses" so they ma take a dislike to you.
Because I couldnt get on the appenticship course at college, my last resort was to go on a intensive course. So I'd personally advise you to go on a college course before resorting to a 6 week course. You'd learn alot more.
Any questions, and i'm happy to answer them
