And me at Bristol.did the olci route myself
OLCI can do the mechanical training as well as the theory and the practical and theory exams. You do get City & Guilds qualifications. It all depends on where you are with your life and can you afford to be on a course for the next year? I couldn't, the government is crucifying employers so getting an apprenticeship could be very hard.hi again guys, been away researching this career cahange and spent hours reading through these forums, i should have done this before posting, anyway..
can anyone recommend college courses around central scotland that do courses?
is it possible to get full time college course? i would like to be armed with some basic knowledge and a certificate before i approach employers..
im keeping the OLCI course as a last resort, for the record i dont really agree with fast track courses either, i worked as a roofer for a while and working on the job taught me more than college.
my aim is to one day be fitting full central heating systems / bathrooms / solar systems etc basically everything..
and im not in it for the money, i just want a job that is more suited to me and make enough to get by
cheers for the advice so far
I was in a similar position and age to you Sandy 2-3 years ago, I did a short course to learn the absolute basics (didn't care really about the cert), I went self employed straight away (in a reccession and a saturated market) and now I'm very busy working flat out, today (Easter Sunday) is the first proper day off I've have for months!
Go for it, you have to be good though and you have to be prepared for some very very stressful situations but its overall very rewarding.
Phil - that's what I like to hear, what sort of jobs do you do typicaly?
Olci are offering a free renewables course if you sign up for their 6129 course.. I recon they would probably throw in a few more free courses if pressed..
Fuzzy- I know this and I agree with it, but I have no other feasable option if I want to be a plumber... I realise I need to do the course before the 6129 is abolished..
I am cinfident I can do a good job and become a good plumber
