Hello, So I started doing a level 2 plastering course at college about four or five years ago and I dropped out around six months into the course because I was offered full time plastering work.
I figured I would learn more that way and obviously I would be better off financially so the decision was an easy one at the time.
However now I'm looking for work and most companies/employers are asking for a Level 2 NVQ or C&G qualification (minimum)
I don't really want to go back to collage as I don't think there's much more for me to learn and I don't really have the time to spend two or three days a week in a class room surrounded by teenagers.
Is there anyway I can pick up a qualification without doing the whole course? Looking back I probably should've stayed on and completed the course while I was on it but that's hindsight for you.
I've over four years on site experience working alongside men who have been in the trade for 20-30 years. Now I need a qualification to go along with that to secure full time employment (without going it alone)
Sorry for the life story but I'd appreciate any advice on this situation. I see a lot of fast track courses but their charging big bucks and again they'd be teaching me what I already know
