    Fast track training providers.....A con?

    IMO they should be illegal! Middle men making a quick earner off the backs of gullible individuals! No self respecting electrical company will employ anyone with these dubious qualifications! If you try and register with JIB they will only issue a Labourers card! If you try and register with...
