[QUOTE="SWatson1985, post: 383736, member: 25650"] Hi guys, Thanks for all of your help and advice. I really didn't know any of this went on. Please be assured though that I never for one moment though I could have done a 5 week course and then become an electrician. I known its not an easy job at all. I just thought it might have been a case of doing these sort of "training provider" courses (C&G's and 17th edition and diplomas etc...) over a year or so and then sending out my CV and maybe starting at a company at the bottom as say a trainee type. However I think I'm not really in a position to be able to be an apprentice, not with my age and the fact that I'd be on an apprentices wage for 4 or 5 years. As most of us do, I have a family to support. I just cannot believe the cheek of these companies. One of them is charging blokes 7 and a half grand for the level 2 and 3 diplomas for 16 weeks. They really do take the **ss! Oh well. It seems it might be back to the drawing board. Again! Thanks guys. Much appreciated. Steve [/QUOTE]
