It sounds like a fairly standard domestic installers course - a bit expensive for what you get.
I'd be interested in the details of this 'job' you'll be getting at the end.

do not really no anything about it yet. on the next weeks practical in 1 or 2 months we are having a 1 2 1 with an advisor's to discuss the path we want to take. Cant imagine it would be anywhere real great but I am just after the experience at first really so money is not to important while I am still learning the basics.

I looked at this one and decided not to go for it as the salesman was very very very pushy and I assumed it was a con. I think they probably provide the training specified but I do not think they guarantee you a job afterward. I seem to remember it was we will put you on to an employment agency. Cost is a bit high but course is a good start to get prepared. Watch the dates of the practicals because it can then take much longer if you do not qualify for the practical at the time you want.
Good luck.

I went with an intensive course with Proactive Technical Training PTT in Tring. Basic Training telling you what you MUST know and passing the exams, good place, can't fault them (except for not providing a three year apprenticeship in four weeks!)
