Re: OLCI Home-Study Courses
Hi mate,
I'm doing the home study course with OLCI. I'm half way through and it's taken me 4 months to get this far. You just have to be ruthless with your home study time. I'm working full time and trying to organise my wedding in August but set aside that study time and keep to it.
The practical sessions are good but not always over a weekend as I was told whern I signed up hence why it's taking so long to do. Roughly you get one weekend a month for a course/assessment and they fill up really quickly. Other than that it's use up your holiday days from work and do a few mid-week runs. The best thing about it all is that the NVQ level 2 is really just the foundations of plumbing but it's enough to get you started but it's better to be in work looking for a job than qualified and out of a job looking for work.
Personally I'm looking to join a company as a plumbers mate and continue studyingto get my level 3, ACS and finally CORGI so a fair bit of training left to go yet.
Good luck and let us know how you get on with it.
Tosh
