I am very very keen to learn a trade, i have done poffice work for last 10 years, and am sick of it, (account management, on telephones , new business dev -cold callsetc)
i have looked at various training courses and colleges, but am out of work at the moment, the college course tend to be part time over x amount of years, and a specilist training centres are a bit far away and want a large amount of money, then i rang one yesterday, and mentioned i was interested in becoming an electrician or plumber, he said they are 2 of the hardest nuts to crack, and if im looking for work straight away then plastering is the one to take, its a 6 week course and £1700.
i am interested, but can anyone tell me if after the 6 weeks i would be qualified and able to go out doing jobs on my own, its no good if i pay that money then still have to find someone to take me on as an apprentice, so i earn very little if i do manage to find someone, i have a 1 year old so cant really afford that route.
just rang the bloke, he tells me i ill be city & guilds qualified, and to become nvq quailifed i need to have my work assessed. is this going to get my a job or am i going to waste my money?
