Advice on training course..

[Lee Harrison]

Hi,

I'm very close to agreeing to start a course with Train4Jobs and am hoping that there are members who have either qualified this way, have begun training with them or know anybody who has completed with them and can give me feedback/advice both positive and negative.

I'm signing up to a 3 year course where I'll be working towards NVQ level 3 and feel confident having had 1 meeting with someone described himself as a careers advisor and have a secondary meeting tomorrow.

Obviously I still have 100 more questions but it's looking like I am going to begin the course unless I find something I really don't like.

Thanks in advance,

Lee.

at least you are doing it the proper way, you could go to one of them magic sheds where you go in and 18 days later say tonight matthew i am going to be an electrician!
Scary to think somebody could go to tradeskills4u tomorrow and in time for xmas have enough certificates to join the elecsa!

Can't you use your local technical college in the evening or one day per week? They have mixed reviews as far as I can tell. They are part of a bigger company called Metropolitan International Schools Ltd. who have been on Watchdog for miss-selling courses.
Has anyone heard of a company train4jobs? - https://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/threads/has-anyone-heard-of-a-company-train4jobs.85575/

If you look at the centre locations for the AM2 you'll see it can only be done in one place in the UK in Wolverhampton.
The centres - Train4Jobs UK - http://train4jobs.co.uk/the-centres

The other issue is that these training centres often lock you into a finance agreement so that even if you cancel halfway through, you are still liable to pay the full outstanding amount for the entire course.
