hi everyone. I've recently finished 2365 level 2 going 1 day a week to a local college. I've just been informed that the college (and neighbouring colleges) will not be doing a day release level 3 as City and Guilds have changed the classroom hours to make it a 18 month - 2 year course. I'm a shift worker working 2 days 2 nights 4 days off. I part time with an electrical firm 2 days a week and whilst I could potentially do the evening course of 2 evenings a week it would eat up a lot of my leave as I would need to book it for both days and nights plus there's no guarantee that I would be able to get every day off I needed and I don't want to miss any lessons.

The only other option I've seen is able skills home study course. the only issue is I don't know how you can learn things like fault finding out of a book. so I was wondering if anyone here did complete the home learning course and their thought on able skills. I know they are the devil providing short courses that aren't worth the paper they are written on usually but I'm trying to go the conventional route to a fully qualified Spark and looking for options. any help is appreciated. thanks for reading.
 
ableskills home study course includes 3 weeks classroom tuition so i would asume you would study at home to get a basic understanding like say types of faults & then in class you would be tought how to use the mft etc.

Don't use ABLE skills. It's a hot-house 4 week turnaround course. I won't use any spark in my projects who've been anywhere near. Imagine studying for 3 years and then employing some toilet who was educated in 8 weeks. Get real. It's an insult to the trade.
 
Yes totally agreed having just studied for the last two years, but was thinking about doing the 18th edition there..... Bad idea ?
shirley a local college will be able to offer 18th when it comes out. expect to pay around £350 .
