Yeah I respect your opinion and I’m inclined to agree, however I believe my age would put off any potential employer, as they would need to pay for my training, if they took on a school leaver they likely may not have to. I have spoken to colleges and they said without an employer there is no point enrolling. But can’t get in with anyone until I have some relevant quals. That’s why I believed a training course would give me what I need at first, until a point where I have completed certain modules and gained the relevant quals to be an Electricians Mate.
It’s very difficult knowing what to do for the best, but that’s why I am here, to hear other opinions
Who ever you have spoke to college is feeding you a load of old BS. Are you sure it was the adult course you were enquiring about and not the day one for school leavers or apprentices. I see you are in West Yorkshire look at the list below.
