I've replied in a seperate thread but thought I would post this to see if it gets more reponses... Apologies if you've read it twice.
I'm looking to start a Gas course with a college called 'Trade Qulaified' that guarentee me work with a mentor in order to build up my portfolio for the ACS exams. The course is 8 seperate weeks practical training and costs £4000 if paid in full at the start.
I'm aware of all the people saying there are not many oppertunities left in this industry but all I am looking for (untill I have a few years experience under my belt) are simple boiler services and my current and fulltime job gives me a wide network of potential customers so thats not a big worry to me at the moment.
All I'm after is peoples experiences with TQ and wether they think the course is worthwhile to do. Is it all a complete newbie like me needs to get into this line of work? (I should add that I intend to work with a Gas Safe engineer a couple of days a week throught out my course duration ((extra)) to gain even more knowledge and experience).
Many thanks,
Suds
