Cable monkey

Hi all,
9 months ago I switched trades from the building game to data cabling it's going good but I'm interested in splicing and networking. The company that I'm with don't seem very interested in training me up in either of these fields so I'm thinking of doing it myself. A splicing and testing course is about £1000 and lasts 5 days where as a networking course ain't that simple I.e more time and more money. Has anyone got any advice on these roles? Once you pass a course can you get work straight away or do they want people with real experience. Or if anyone knows anyone who is taking people on as trainees in these trades. I've been working on the underground so have a LUCAS card that will help with the splicing and networking as there's loads of it on the underground.
Just found an A+ certification course for networking if I go down that route does anyone know anything about this course it's a classroom based one and it about £1700 compTIA run it.


Regards
