Hi guys - interesting feedback there about training.
It doesn't matter where you do your training, as long as its accredited and your getting value for money.
The NOCN certificate cross matches to the NVQ criteria. It just doesn't say City & Guilds
As long as you get the right training, covering all the necessary theory and practical, with an ACCREDITED training certificate, it doesn't matter what awarding body you go for.
It's experience that makes you quicker and more confident after your training. It's the same for any kind of training you do, in any occupation.
It's like the old driving test story. Everybody is a nervous driver after passing their test. They get better over time
So I suppose it all boils down to what you want to spend?
Somebody from another thread made an interesting comment about 'old plumbers' not taking on apprentices. If 'new recruits' didn't take the bull by the horns and go for it themselves, who is going to replace the 'old school' plumbers that get ****ed off so easily?
There is nothing wrong with ambition, combined with the desire to succeed and motivation
