Hi Folks,
My name is Nick, took the qualification due to being made redundant for the first time in my career as a toolmaker, way back at the turn of the century (this one NOT the last one).
Qualified earlier this year (2010) and have only done small jobs, BUT have been working with those who do the job 24/7, its like serving an apprenticeship, but worth getting the experience that can't be taught in college.
