I would put my name forward, but out of my own admission im probably not the best, considering my track record of intolerence. However like has been said, any question can be asked and they are genuine trainee's with an interest for the trade - so i'd be alright with this and would be happy to oblige, scouts honour!

However, plenty of experience members have replied to this thread, so think Sintra, Marvo and the gang have more than enough experience to chose from. I'm here and willing if you need me though lads, over and out!

I dont have a intolerance of people wanting to learn for the better just folk who seem to think they can do it and kmow it alls.

Group pool of mentors to patrol this section is a cracking idea. I would like to help where i can, Im sure i can input somewhere along the lines.

 

[Marvo]

I could do with some business maentoring on the business side of things lie qouting and tax affairs etc as this is more daunting than the 2391 to me lol

Although it's not really relevant to the trainee section I think the business side of think is also vastly overlooked. In this day and age more and more people are looking at self employment and more often than not the reason they fail has nothing to do with technical ability, it's down to lack of business acumen and marketing skills.

If you've any suggestions on how better coverage in this area could be achieved on the forum, I'm all ears.

i would like to help but probably the trainees would know more than me!
can i be a trainee even though i have done most qualifications?
i still have nvq to go?

 

[Marvo]

If you're mid way through an NVQ you should qualify. I would just read this first then you can apply here.

 

[thekingiam]

Thought I had already said yes to this so I will help in what way I can

 

[SirKit Breaker]

I have already replied and offered my services, and i will also offer free mentoring to apprentices who want Inspection and Test training to 2394/5 standard, can apply it in their job and are local "ish" to me and willing to cover my fuel costs.

There is a catch, i will need the unique learner number (ULN) from their training plan to verify that they are on an apprenticeship programme, and i will check the validity of the ULN prior to offering my services.

Cheers...........Howard
