Hi my name is Adam and am 33 years old and currently a mechanic for VW, but for the past year or so I have wanted to retrain and become a fully qualified electrician, so I have done some research and found there are 3 routes for me to take, 1st is the train centres which by the sound of it are just a waste of money, then there is the local colleges and mature apprenticeship. My question is which route would you suggest? The level 2 course at my local college is ÂŁ100 and increases a fair bit for level 3 city and guilds, what are my chances of actually getting an apprenticeship at my age I know most will be offered to school leavers, so am I better starting my training at my own cost or try for an apprenticeship?
