Hi
Doing the VIY route at the moment, get along on the thursday to look around ask the lads doing the course what they think... we have 5 weeks to go in the workshops and any one of the 30 guys on the course will give you an honest answer to any questions. The qualifications that it says you get in the 10 weeks YOU DO NOT GET ALL OF THEM, SOME YOU HAVE TO GO BACK FOR IN SIX MONTHS TIME. Plus to do the other exams you need to spend £144 on books to do the extra courses. We are 5 weeks in so in 5 weeks ask me what i think as i have invested a lot of money and the above course for some reason has gone up in price. Do not want to put you of but as with any course check and do not be afraid to ask questions as you are investing in your future.
