just booked up with OCLI. Ive read a lot of reviews some really good but some pretty poor to be honest. Wanted to learn a trade and plumbing is something I wanted to get into for a while but never had the chance. Im 25 years old and have been in full time employment since I left school until a few days ago so this is the perfect opportunity to do this plus I have the money should I do it, or should I just find another crappy job?

I dont want to throw money away, obviously but I dont want to miss out on a great chance either!

This course looks the part its perfect location for me. Only one in Scotland and the OCLI have a distinquished history in lots oif fields so is it worth it?

I know ill need to gain experience working but this seems like a great opportunity and even though there is a recetion, you'll always need tradesman. I also so a report stating the lack of plumbers so I cant see them running out of work. I know its always hard to get a plumber to come quickly in my area. They are always so busy!

Any true feedback from people on this course or who has done it would be greatly appreciated.
