Re: Pluming Apprenticeship
Jason it looks very promising because they want your money.
There are various posts re this fast track taining process, most in the know , will tell you dont waste your money.
If you have never had any practical experience in the construction industry, after your course you will be flapping like a fish out of water, and a few thousand pounds lighter.
I believe you have been given plenty of advice in your other thread , whether you choose to take note or not is up to you.
Believe me this not protectionism like some would say from a time served person, there is no doubt new blood is needed, but this aint the way to go for someone like yourself.
Ask yourself if it was that easy , why is there still a shortage ( dont actually believe it personally ), everyone paying to do a 6 week or less course, earning straight away and filling the percieved gap makes it even more unlikely, there are hundreds who have taken this route only to find the reality is very different.
Government needs to seriously address this problem by giving potential employers financial help to take on apprentices to train and gain the more vital experience of actually doing the job.
There are no fast fixes to get over this, apart from being underhanded imo to promote these courses, it is insulting to those who took a long time to be properly qualified and experienced, and those who wish to be the same.
