RF Training?

[James Morton]

just booked with RF
got a package deal as i wanted both plumbing and gas qualification

8 week residential course for the NVQ level 2 Diploma in heating and plumbing 6189 - 11

then get a week off and then

4 week residential course for BPEC gas foundation, with guaranteed work placement and all the ACS training and assessment so i will be able to register on the gas safe register

and a 4 day course so i get the Part P, electrician training for plumbers

and the package includes hotel accommodation for the duration in the week

and a tool kit with all the tools for the course

cost me £8000 for the lot, which i though was a bagain as all the other courses i can find on the net want atleat
5k for the plumbing nvq
4K for gas
800 for the part p
plus accommodation.....ect



now im getting these all at once as my dad died recently and has left me some money and he all-ways told me to get a trade...instead i done worthless microsoft certification and haven't worked in IT since i was made redundant in 2008,

once qualified i will hopefully join a big firm and gain some experience. i was speaking to someone who has just finished the same courses at RF and he said he was offered a job at 40K a year the week after completing these courses with no experience just the papers

so what im asking is, does anyone know about RF? since ive just spunk-ed 8k and have 7 days to cancel i thought i would ask....

any advice or opinions would be appreciated

For 8k I'd of looked into it more first nice first informative post though , welcome to the forums

Welcome to the forum James.

It'll be interesting to hear about you experiences in this course. Dunno about anyone being a 40k job the week after completing the course tho.
If you're still in contact with the person, find out if the job materialised and how are they doing on it.

I wish you well but how can you get nvq without on site visits ?

 

[TBServices]

You can't get a NVQ without training as an apprentice, and 8k spent on an 8 week course will not make you a plumber, and no one will employ you without experience. This is gospel. Save your money and use it to live on while you do an apprenticeship if you really want to be a plumber.

Its a joke right!

Do people still believe these scams!

If I were you, I would be cancelling courses quickly - plumbing takes years to learn, and it can be quite a miserable job, if you don't know what you are doing.

well io was under the impression that companies take people on who have the qualifications and little experience as it saves them paying for it or am i wrong? or i can see how how it much different top going college to get ur nvq and then joing a firm to get experience, honest opinions guys

thanks

College experience counts for nothing in my opinion, employers want someone who fits the bill, hard working, punctual etc regardless of whether they've done thier college or not. Don't waste your money.

 

[James Morton]

gonna cancel it, just called the bloke - thanks for your honesty guys

No problem, now pick up that yellow pages and ring every damn plumber in it!
