PLEASE GOD STOP!
This is turning into the worst kind of tabloid crap I've ever read!!!
I didn't bother replying to these posts because I don't want to get embroiled into a pointless discussion mistaking opinion for fact, unless anyone on this forum is Michael Gove, I don't think anyone is qualified to start spreading rumours about the value of the 6129.
I'm not bothered about letters after my name, it sounds like bragging but I've got qualifications coming out of my proverbial including 2 University degrees - WHAT ACRONYM FOLLOWS THE QUALIFICATION DOSN'T MATTER, it’s what you learn, not what it’s called.
No college would in ANY WAY would stop a course mid-way, the suggestion is mental. My qualification for saying this - I worked in a University for 7 years, My wife is a College Administrator, my Mother-in-law is a college lecturer. I've been in, around, beside and through so many education systems in this country, I know a huge amount about all stages from recruitment, admissions, support, graduation and work based learning.
The reason I started the 6129 is because I wanted training, practice and advice about how to be a plumber. On top of that you need to be motivated yourself, you need to volunteer to do work outside of the workshop, you've got to ask questions, you've got to be objective and look at your work without pride and be able to be critical. If you can do all these things you'll be a fine plumber.
I mention all this not for the people who have posted highly dubious opinions on this post, but for the people reading this who may be on this course, considering this course or in any way contemplating a class room based trade education. PLEASE consult someone who knows that facts, either in a college or careers adviser service, not someone on the internet.
I’m unsubscribing from this forum now because it’s giving me a headache.
