Can you elaborate on how you were clobbered? I'll be doing a 15-week course soon, hopefully, followed by getting a job as an electrician mate whilst working towards my NVQ level 3 and eventually AM2 assessment. After that, I can apply for my JIB Gold Card. This should qualify me as both a domestic and commercial installer/electrician with city and guilds 2365 level 2 and 3, City & Guilds 2382 - 18th edition course, City & Guilds 2377 - Pat testing qualifications. Apparently, this whole process should take less than 3 years.

Many years ago I went on the government course 12 weeks to train as a heavy plant mechanic, would be around 1985, after a week I was called into the principals office, the lecturer it seems had complained. It turned out with my experience and qualifications I could have taught the course, as in an allied trade, so the course was shortened and I used the rest of time using there mail system to apply for jobs.
It was the same as schools, the teacher may be employed as an English teacher, but if she can speak a little French, it French teacher is off sick then he/she stands in and takes the class.
So at the end of the day it is down to the teacher, not the course, and if that teacher suits you. Not even how much the teacher knows, I had a physics teacher who was well over qualified, but useless at teaching.

Hi Ryokan, Could you tell me which training center is this at?
They're all crap imo. The reality in colleges up and down the country is they're understaffed, underfunded, full of people who don't care and the organisation is usually appalling.
You just need to get through the Level 2 and 3 and try to find work to get the real on site experience that is required to do the job properly.
