Advice on training

[Johnabbs]

I started life off working on CNC machine mind numbing watching different little parts coming off and putting them in bags of 100.
Then I went Nissan and worked on the production line I have had boaring jobs with no progression! I can do it it but I have a feeling this won't be that bad by a long way ! Love the story about the factory reminds me of Nissan actually !

All I am hoping for is a descent wage 400/500 wk I would more than happy with !
and a trade behind me so I can find work for the rest of my working life and feel like I have achieved something !

John, we're not trying to put you off.

All we want you to do is take a good hard look through old threads on here before making your decision and taking a leap. Not saying that it wouldn't work for you, it very well might.

But for every success story there's a hundred or so fallen by the wayside having wasted thousands.

The other reality is you won't get trained then straight onto 4/500 a week, you'll find that you'll be earning a pittance to begin with.

But if it's what you want to do, and you're absolutely set on it, go for it.

We'll give you as many tips and advice as we can.

Rather than jump straight into the gas and put yourself in a position of uncertainty, I old consider staying in your current role and talking to a local college about getting your lev 2 c&g plumbing course/Diploma.
I did a course to get my lev 2 certification and found out the hard way after being misold etc. I'm now in a very fortunate position because I was in the builders merchant industry, of building up a great relationship with many builders and plumbers that 2 have offered me a job, the plumber is already oil registered and will be doing his gas by the end of this year and we have a agreed in 18months I will do mine too.
It's been a long time coming, I've waited over 3 years to get this chance in a job I knew I wanted out of but supported me financially until it came up, I'm now 32.
I wish you all the best for your future.
