If you use the search box top left you will find a lot of threads like this. If you use google you may be able to find in Glasgow an academy.

Highly unlikely mate, not without experience unless you starting somewhere at entry level.

I’m going to put my neck on the line and say ‘no’, nobody will touch you with a barge pole with no/ little experience.

Nothing wrong with that mate , incredibly hard industry to get into , however easy if you know a heating engineer you would be probably 75% there .
Try tilling, mind numbing , but a good one is never short of work and its well paid .

How much you paying?

I'll take a wild stab in the dark.

You'll pass the course but won't be able to complete a portfolio to gain an NVQ.

Are they guaranteeing to provide you with that work placement, or do they expect you to sort it out yourself?

I'd make sure that's written in stone and that there's reviews off genuine trainees who can corroborate it. There's a lot of horror stories of people being left in the lurch with these training centres.

With regards to being employable afterwards, there aren't many employers that will take you on without a few years experience.

So these training centres are only good if you were to go out on your own self employed

What’s the name of the training center? Some of these courses are not worth it. Also follow what Pickwick has said. If they can’t provide the details I’d give them a wide birth.

They seem to checkout online as much as one can tell, ask for references from previous trainees and make sure they’re genuine, etc working for a company.
