    Looking for a NVQ3 apprenticeship, can someone give me some tips?

    My college is not offering the practical part of the qualification next September so that means I will have to go on an apprenticeship. Should I target big well known companies like southern electric or should I ring the one man band kind of people. What would I be likely to get into?
