Plastering for the council?

[mrspoon]

has anyone done an apprenciteship with the council?

reason i ask is cos i have an interview there in a couple of weeks 8) will go to college and doin nvq level 2 and 3.

ive already fone F.C.A and in 5 weeks time ill have my I.C.A, surely those 2 years experience should work in my favour, means another 2 years at college but who cares, regular money and job stability i guess 8)

ICA is level 2 same as the NVQ 2 just not had your on site assesments. They should take that into consideration. Good Luck.

 

[mrspoon]

should bump me ahead then, i dont mind getting sent back to college for it, chilled out day and still paid for it 8)

haha cheers

Just think of all the poontang!

yeh i done my apprenticeship with the council 20 years ago best apprenticeship then but we had sites for apprentices from flaggers to roofers and every trade inbetween only problem i can see your speed will not increase but steady wage and pretty safe it sounds good.

 

[mrspoon]

yeah im not too fussed about my speed increasing through the council, regular money will keep me going im sure. wont be starting till september if i do get it, in the meantime tho i have my own jobs to do, full bungalow stripping of wallpaper then skimming and knocking kitchen into one of the 3 bedrooms to create a nice 2 bed bungalow with a big kitchen/diner.
H/S/L bathroom bedroom front porch and kitchen to do in another house for a joiner ive been intouch with
and hes also asked me to do the plastering on a loft conversion hes quoting for, sure i'll be able to get plenty more big jobs crammed in during the "summer holidays" hope so anyway, i want all the experience i can get 8) 8)

flynnman.. what kind of work should i expect with the council? lots of patching i guess?

 

[flynnyman]

you should expect anything patching after the plumber and spark and probably a few ceilings due to leaks. why dont you apply and make the decision in september and see how much work you have, but they are a good number, if you can get in then ride the storm till it picks up.
