City & Guilds 2365 Course Level 2 & 3 Diploma course at Tradeskills4u

[Anthony Walker]

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice,

i am 21 years old and have been applying for apprenticeships for just over a year, i am having no luck as i dont have any experience in the electrical field. I am considering booking myself onto the City & Guilds 2365 Course Level 2 & 3 Diploma course at Tradeskills4u with hope that i will find it easier to become employed by a contractor and complete my NVQ once employed, would anyone say it would make it a lot easier to find employment once my diploma had been completed, i am worried that i will spend the £7500 and still stand the same chance as i do now. Also has anyone done this course or a course with tradeskills4u? If so what are your thoughts on it?

Thanks for the replies. I think I need to do another course just to refresh my knowledge and show employers I'm still keen (I finished the 2330 in 2009). Maybe the 17th, once I find out what it is!

the 2330 is as i understand it the class room part of the course (this has changed to 2356)

Level 2 was one evening classroom, one evening workshop. Level 3 both classroom. Pretty sure it used to me called 2360. Somebody at C&G loves changing these numbers!

CITY AND GUILDS 2382-15 is the 17th edition 2015 and you would need a yellow regs book with a hologram insider
Cost about 70-80
I did my test by clicking on what j think it should be and then re-doing it with the book
It's a gola so multi chose tho they like similar answers so it isn't 100% east

My 2330 was two evenings a week, first year was boards and classroo
Second year was testing boards and classroom

hi
I'm 23 and i'm looking to do the 2365 course over evening study at the local college as i will be working while studying. I currently have no experience within the field of electrics. my question is what would the best course for me. I want a course that will have a good all round understanding and leave me with a good base for employability after its ended.
basically are there any other courses better suited for my needs and if so why?

I think your only op is 2365 level 2 then 3
Don't look too far forward as things changes
And I can never promise a job at the end of any course

But before stating a.course make sure you are ready for it.. Read learn and ask questions
For me I can't do a course on any thing I don't already know reasonabley well
This is due to my reading and getting side tracked when trying to read a.text book
