Default Re: career change dilemma

too good to be true they are offering you the world but you will not get it the nvq is assessed when you are working about 6 to 8 months this will cost you extra you will find it hard to get a job from this course alone unless you are thinking of going self employed but at this time with so many people on these courses and all wanting jobs or going self employed the market is flooded there are tilers now taking 2 week courses to fit bathrooms to top up there wages but undercutting the plumbing prices so its getting harder to make a living, there are more new plumbing company's opening up every month but there are a lot that are failing and getting in to debt but thats the risk you take

as for the gas courses you need to work with a corgi engineer and have at 60 hours or more signed off by him they don't tell you that bit
