If you pay for the fast track courses. You will have no chance of working for any elec firm. You will tell them the quals you’ve got and no experience and then they won’t be interested in chaps who buy their way in.
You’ll have to get on as an adult trainee and do the 4 years
I know fast track is basically frowned upon like people are buying a certificate trying to cram 4 years in 4 - 6weeks 2-6months so many variations out there, but to discredit any one whos taken that route I would say is long being In the tooth.
With the right delivery a lot of things can be learned quicker than 15 years ago.
Technology and the understanding of how the Human brain absorbs information has changed the way a lot people learn and how things are taught.
I don’t disbelieve what you say about firms not wanting to touch those Electrical Trainee people (as I have seen them referred to) because they maybe be cowboys. I’m also a believer of every hole is goal non explicitly. if a person has years of experience but no qualifications like a few people out there I feel they’re best suited for them at type of course.
I mean if it couldn’t be done all these shorts courses wouldn’t exist surely?
I’m just no going to chance my money taking a short course 1)because I have zero experience
2) with my luck, il end up on rogue course with a rogue tutor, no real content and a classroom full of twits, waiting for the sparky unicorn to spread sparky dust and make them pass.
3) kids get sick during this period or a call from the school, me having to miss a day and be frustrated with the situation, of missing potential ÂŁ130 a day of tutorial.
4) fear of over crowded classrooms
5) not being accepted for work after I pass because the element of it being frowned upon by the industry and being called a Electrical Trainee
So your point is valid and I really appreciate the input.
My kids and Mrs call me a pessimist often, but really I’m just a penny pincher. In this current financial madness who can really afford not to be.
Comments, I’ve seen in other threads, on how expensive yearly fees can be is a worry, if they all are to be renewed around the same time of year annually. I plan to make a kitty for those times, instead my attitude for the past ten years of winging it paycheque to paycheque (hence being a penny pincher).
