Do it at a local college, I second (third, fourth?!) this one. I was lucky enough to work with a bloke part time at the same time as doing my level 3 and it paid off. I learnt a bit from doing the course and you have to do it to get ahead but the real learning is putting it into practice on the tools.

First fix, they don't teach you that in college - all that stuff is stuff you learn on the tools. I still don't understand why they spend so long on pointless stuff at college and then don't teach you how houses are put together and how you plan your cable routes etc. Work as a mate or even just building labourer for a bit and do the course side by side. When you've got a bit of experience and can hold your own in a conversation about the regs go and hassle the sparks to work for them!
