Yes but what makes you think you can do a 3-4 year apprenticeship in 8 weeks? Can you do the same with a degree? Being from an education background could you get pupils through their GCSEs in 6 weeks if someone threw money at you?
I suggest that you still think that trades are for "thickies" which is why it usually takes 3-4 years, and you assume that you can do it in a matter of weeks because you've got something between your ears, maybe even a bit of common sense.
This is where fly-by-night training centres are cashing in on people like you who reckon you're thinking outside the box and playing the system, when in reality there are loads of people trying to do it but failing miserably; you don't often hear of these because it's an admission of failure to play the system - the emperor admitting he walked down the street naked.
The regular members on this forum regularly hear of people failing to play the system, almost always in the form of complaints of mis-selling against the training centres. The internet (us) is left to pick up the pieces.
If a training centre is getting a class of students through their qualifications every half term, that's 6 classes a year compared with a local further education college's class every 3 years. This would mean that the vast majority of professional electricians should now be trained via intensive courses, but if you ask around this forum that simply is not the case. Why do you think this might be?
