jobbit

Hi everyone,
I am looking at retraining and have seen a lot of the comments on here about 'training centres' and have also read other places that people take age in to account when taking people on.

I'm 35 and looking at retraining and live in south west essex. Does anyone know of any reputable training facilties which don't ask for a huge sum of money and my first born and offer the qualifications that employers are looking for? Also anyone from my way know what the job prospects are like for someone entering the business at my age, given that I am a total newbie to plumbing?

i'm not too happy with the of training by post or cbt as some schemes i have read up on.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers
