I have been working for a small company for the past 10 years, after a previous 10 year spell at BG. I have been looking for a job for over 2 years now and despite a couple of failed interviews with manufacturers....nothing.
I have had no additional training in 10 years and although I'm excellent at diagnostics I feel well behind. I am thinking of paying for some training in commercial and industrial as there are loads of jobs being advertised for this kind of work with them paying good money but I'm not sure the trancision is that easy, if it's possible at all.
Has anyone done this, or just done the course/exams? Am I likely to be wasting my time as you're going to need X amount of experience?

On a completely seperate note one of my work collegues went for a courier job the other day at parcel force that was paying £350 take home a month more than we're getting paid. Need to seriously move on.
 
Hi splinterdream ... I went it alone 4 years ago, domestic, but subbied to a guy who needed a commercial repair bloke! If you have a good handle on system design then the transition to commercial is achievable but a learning curve all the same... Some of the electronics take a lot of getting use too IMO :) I did the coarse to tick the boxes to be honest coz it didn't teach me a great deal except ventilation and you can get away with anything but murder!!!!! :) lol
