I see a lot of negative feedback regarding New Career Skills, and im not sure why.
I trained with them and 8 years on have a successful electrical contractor company. You obtain the city and guilds qualifications you need with them to demonstrate competence which is what the law requires.
You don't get anything different from a 3 year college course. As for the advertised earnings, a qualified electrician should be earning 30k+.
My earnings have been over 60k the past couple of years. You do the maths to whether the course is worth while it not.
Personally anyone self motivated enough to do the New Careers Skill course should seriously consider being self employed at the end of it, far more to be earned that way and easier to get work as you can't show a future employer any experience.
There are a lot of other companies offering much the same sort of course but they have a huge amount of hidden extras to pay. This was the only course i found that everything was included in the one price.
As Rob says, total bull.....but I'm not laughing....some dipsticks actually believe it.....and who's this 'qualified electrician?
