Hi everyone,
I know this topic has been raised previously but I am looking for any further up-to-date info/feedback on the training company 'New career Skills'.
My situation is that I have recently been made redundant after 30 years in the print industry, but see this as a positive 'kick up the bum' to get out and do something more fulfilling and rewarding. With this in mind, I am looking at retraining as a domestic spark and eventually going self-employed. Obviously with my age (48) and situation an apprenticeship is not really on the cards, so I have been looking at the best 'fast-track' route forward and have made contact with NCS.
I would say, by the way, that I do recognise there is no substitute for years of experience in the 'real world' and feel that experienced sparks are probably going to be laughing at my 'fast-track' approach, but my options forward do seem limited.
So, NCS, they seem very professional and obviously promise lots for my 6.5k, but my question is do they deliver and are they a worthwhile and good positive step to where I want to be, or do you think they are they just another bunch of con artists selling me short?
Qualifications I apparently come out with are C&G level 3 '2382', C&G level 3 '2377' and EAL level 2 making me Part P compliant.
Any help or advice would be really appreciated and, as this is my first post, please be 'gentle' with me!
many thanks ..............
