Week from hell

[Jamie Banks]

Wow just had the week from hell -

Due to finish my 6129 level 2 at T4TS. Wanted to test the water as it is as to furthering this qualification/experience/hand's on. Spoke to a few people and T4TS who offer an extension from level 2 to level 3 but thought it would have been a better idea to offer a course that you can get basic practical experience if needed. Any advice as to which and what way to go as I have not got the luxury of working in the industry or opening my new business.

Any help would be great as I want to do plumbing and be recognised for a decent job/knowledge and not just to make money out of.

Is this a case of I told you so and if so how do older plumbers achieve their knowledge without the apprenticeship route. Any proven routes would be most useful.

Regards

You cannot even do it with a modern apprenticeship.
Our apprentices are apprentices for 4 years , I will not accept anything less even when they pass there exams. For me its 4 years or nothing, call me old fashioned but that in my eyes is the way it should be , and I tell you something it works.
