Why do you want to step backwards?

 

[trev]

All the info you need is on the CPS operator's various websites mate. Best advice though, stay where you are it's tough out there in DI land.

 

[dazo]

Mate your over qualified all you need is a 5 week course and a wad of cash

You are confused!!! you hold a higher job and want to step a lot of rungs down the ladder and enter an industry been throttled with too many domestic sparkies which are seeing prices and wages driven down .... entertain me and explain why you would wan to do such a backwards measure?

 

[Adam W]

Why not become a driving instructor instead?

 

[telectrix]

Hmm... Driving lessons @ £11/hour. Take off the cost of running the newish motor, not much wages left.

Become a plumber. Then you are more than qualified to do domestic installs. Or at least that's what your ego will tell you.

Seriously though stick with the job you are in unless you want to be undercut by some incompetent shrewhead who will do the job for nothing.

Where did you get £11 ph from? I used to pay £40 for a 2 hour lesson, in the late 90s.

 

[telectrix]

loads round here advertising 10 lessons £55. or £12/lesson.

My driving lessons cost me £24 ph then £30ph for evenings and weekends. This was around 7years ago
