[QUOTE="Moolam, post: 465573, member: 30274"] Thanks to those that commented and gave feedback. I have decided to cancel the course, just made it before the “cooling off” period expired. Would of cost me £2,500 for year 1 alone. I have to accept that becoming a sparky is not going to be possible at 41 years old with a young family and bills to pay. I was sold the old “within a year you’ll be earning £40-£50k a year” after passing these courses. But clearly that will not be the case. I have scoured the job adverts for electricians online and I can’t find much about where I can earn more than 30k, and that’s fully qualified with years of experience required. I would have to take a massive pay cut to be a sparkys Mate for a few years at least while I pay out 7k for all the qualifications. I am a bit gutted because I wanted to do it, and even more gutted I fell for a bit of a con with the training company who sold me a bit of a dream. Thought I was a bit more savvy than that, but I think desperation to make a job change took over. [/QUOTE]
