I guess it depends on how you prefer to learn. Many people prefer to front load their training and then apply what they have learned on the job.
For mature learners doing an apprenticeship just isn't an option. It's all very well and good to say apply what you learn in the workplace but that...
Hi Jack, We don't do plumbing courses, we are an electrical training specialist and we don't send out DVD's or book bags either. there are a few companies with similar names but it is definitely not us.
We also don't send out sales people, sign you up to credit agreements or anything like that...
Hi Jack,
I am pretty sure you have got us confused with another company. We don't sign people up to direct debits and we have no customers on our system called Jack Mcleod so please can you double check who you are talking about here and update us?
Cheers
Chris
Hi Robeyw,
I just spotted this and wanted to let you know that Simonslimline is spot on with the routes which is exactly how we present it on our website. However before people start having a go at us maybe they could look at what we actually say than assuming we are telling everyone they will...
Hi Andy,
You do not need to take a new 17th edition course if you already hold a valid 17th edition qualification. However your installations must adhere to all the most recent amendments and you should have a copy of the new yellow book.
A lot of people did offer Amendment 3 courses but they...
Hi DougB,
Just spotted this thread and wanted to contribute based on our experience with our trainees.
The overwhelming majority find work either during or after they take our 2365 course. This is because by front loading your training you show commitment and drive to succeed in this industry...
Hi UNG,
The City & Guilds 4141-01 is a course that we developed here at Trade Skills 4U. The course is accredited by City & Guilds but is not available to other centres hence why it is not listed on the website. You can call City & Guilds to confirm this if you like.
We developed this course...
Hi all,
I am happy to defend these courses and have done numerous times on numerous threads on this forum. The courses we offer are an excellent way to enter the industry and do give you some very good hands on experience of doing all the main circuits found in a domestic setting as well as how...
Hi Bobit200,
Please do search this site for feedback on us. You should find it is generally very positive. However make sure you do not get us confused with any other training providers with similar names. We offer a huge range of courses for those new to the industry and experienced guys out...
Re: I am thinking about doing this course, can anyone tell me if it is a good one to
Hi JayHowe,
Just spotted your post. I would suggest giving us a call and discussing it with a course advisor. That will enable them to find out more about what type of work your are aiming to do, what your...
Look guys I understand your frustrations but there isn't a massive conspiracy to de-skill the industry and as far as I can tell standards are on the increase because training providers, City & Guilds, EAL, the IET, The ESC and the scheme providers are all working to ensure people are competent...
Hi D Skleton, If you want to blame us then you have to blame the colleges too. We are all in the same business and all provide the same courses. Our business is to help people get qualified and yes that does mean we help people enter the industry, however every industry in the UK has an entry...
Hi Johnny Hammond,
I thought I should just quickly highlight that the 4141 would almost certainly be too basic for you it is really intended for people new to the industry. However if you did want to go down the 2394/95 route then you can use your ELC's to pay for it as they are both Level 3...
Hi Markc123 - I wanted to answer your question "How?" as it's really just a case of simple maths. We can offer this course in a shorter space of time because it is full time training Monday to Friday each week rather than 1 day a week. We also don't go on holiday for 20 weeks of the year like...
Hi Dan,
If you are looking to work as a domestic installer then as long as you register before the 5th April you will need the following:
17th Edition Wiring Regs
The ability to install (Re-wire a house)
Be competent at inspection and testing as this will be assessed by your scheme provider...
Guys and Girls, my experience is in training and business, my SO19 career is most definitely relevant for the education industry as I also had a role in the training of Specialist Firearms Officers and therefore relevant particularly as SO19 is one of the world's finest firearms departments. My...
Hi All,
The reason we originally got involved in this thread was because our integrity and the validity of this case study was questioned. To get drawn into a debate about long and short courses is pointless because in our view people taking training are always to be supported by doing the...
I just saw this thread and wanted to answer some of your queries. I can confirm this is a true story and we recently received the content in a letter form from Wayne Lewis an ex-candidate of ours who was very happy with his training and the level of work he has received since registering as a...
Hi Paul,
I noticed no one has answered your post as yet. I work for Trade Skills 4U so am unable to give you an unbiased opinion, however I would suggest visiting both centres, checking out the facilities and getting an idea of how easy they are to travel to.
It's very hard for any one person...
It has just been confirmed that the current method for registering domestic installers will continue until April 2013. This provides more time for anyone looking to qualify under the current scheme to get trained in confidence that they will be able to progress their career following the...
