Hi all,
My name is Aaron, I completed a four-year apprenticeship after leaving school and attained my NVQ level 2 in plumbing and also completed, which was at the time, CORGI registration. After my training, I installed a number of boilers, full central heating systems and conversions. I was also part of a small-works team for a while, changing pumps, radiators etc...
However, after six years out on my own installing gas, I decided to see some of the world and ended up travelling/teaching abroad for nine years. In that time I also completed a Bachelor's degree in English.
I am now settled back into UK life and looking to reinvigorate my career. I am 34 years old and based in Kent. My question is do you think it viable I request six-months shadowing an engineer before being let loose by myself again? I am considering approaching some companies.
I know I can simply go and re-qualify with gas and start up alone but I would rather get my hands dirty and build my confidence back up before doing so.
Any advice about which way to go about this is highly appreciated.
