Hi guys, Iv lurked on the forums for a few years now as it always seems to relay exactly what im asking/looking for so thought id sign up and get a post in.
Im 24 and currently hold the C&G Level 2 & 3 Diploma, started as it just entered colleges in Lancashire area (attended St. Helens tech). As you will know the 2365 was an introductory route for employed and unemployed replacing earlier C&G quals (2357 I believe).
I gained apprenticeship employment shortly after completing the majority of the level 3 diploma but this unfortunatey didnt work out due to relocating from Wigan to West Yorks, since completeing the diplomas iv worked self employed as an improver, I have floated by doing this for 6 years now and am seriously looking at biting the bullet and getting the am2, portfolio completion, bridging course, 18th edition etc and potentially employment as a certified electrician.
After searching around and trying to find what would be best suited to my situation (realstically I am am2 ready) I havent nailed down either a price or certain route....
My long last question is...can anybody (and your a useful bunch!) give me a basic idea of how this should be done (ie permanant employment + college or tradeskills4u style) and what to expect to spend?
If anyone can elaborate it'd be hugely appreciated, I have faith!
