Hi,

I'm very close to agreeing to start a course with Train4Jobs and am hoping that there are members who have either qualified this way, have begun training with them or know anybody who has completed with them and can give me feedback/advice both positive and negative.

I'm signing up to a 3 year course where I'll be working towards NVQ level 3 and feel confident having had 1 meeting with someone described himself as a careers advisor and have a secondary meeting tomorrow.

Obviously I still have 100 more questions but it's looking like I am going to begin the course unless I find something I really don't like.

Thanks in advance,

Lee.

at least you are doing it the proper way, you could go to one of them magic sheds where you go in and 18 days later say tonight matthew i am going to be an electrician!
Scary to think somebody could go to tradeskills4u tomorrow and in time for xmas have enough certificates to join the elecsa!

The other issue is that these training centres often lock you into a finance agreement so that even if you cancel halfway through, you are still liable to pay the full outstanding amount for the entire course.

Hi Lee
Have you looked into your local technical college for the same qualifications you will find that a lot of electrical firms who employ electricians will value a technical college far more than a tradeskills 4u company. One thing to remember is a lot of electricians you will be applying to for a job will have been to the local technical college in your area and know the tutors who will be teaching you. I dont think this is the case with the course you are looking into and you will probably find it will be cheaper.
Previous students who are now fully qualified will almost certainly ask there old college tutors for someone they recommend to give a start as a sparks mate.
