help with qualifications + work

[Badged01]

Rules, like the regs. are always changing, hopefully for the better Doesn't help you I know but if you are really serious about the profession bite the bullet and accept you're not going to make your millions in the first couple of years whilst getting qualified!!

Infact, if you are driven by money and thinking of making your millions dont get into the trade ...... you will be disappointed!!

Its just the nvq3 and am2 I'm worried about as mainstream colleges will not take you on unless your employed and even if I'm employed as a sparks mate I'll get paid peanuts for 3years.

No you will be paid what you are worth, like in any job. Why would you be paid more just because you have more financial commitments than someone else?

Get some tools together and get on site as a mate. Sign up for the nvq with xs training. I wouldnt worry about the other courses too much at the mo. This is what i done after finishing C+G 2330 at college. Good luck

if you have a family and are worried about taking work that pays less, have you looked into government help such as working tax credit. i don't know personally, but have heard it can help make ends meet. it's there to help people like you, who want to work or better themselves, but 'can't afford to'.
