[QUOTE="Carnanum, post: 176237, member: 8158"] Hello Elliott, :Welcome: Having been in exactly the same situation as you, may i first say, you picked the right trade! I came out of my GCSE's 4 years ago and had nout to do with them. Took me a while to find the right trade for me, but i'm glad i picked sparks. Enough about me, on to your dilemma. It is unbelievably difficult to find an apprenticeship in the current climate, there isn't enough work out there in order to warrant the extra man-power. Keep trying though, [B]an apprenticeship is worth it's weight in Gold.[/B] My advice and why; Since you're 17, you're in a very good position with education. The level two course (C&G 2330, which i think has changed to something different this year, can anyone confirm?) requires you to have either 5 passing GCSE grades (A-D) or an A in maths (which is how i got onto my course with only 4 passes). This level two course will go on to level three and there are plenty of other part time courses to boost your qualification stack. Level two itself is supremely easy, covering the simple domestic fittings and cable clipping - along with PVC/Steel Conduit and trunking. The course consists of [B]a year in college at 3 days a week[/B] OR [B]two years in college at 2 nights a week[/B]. I recommend the former as this will get you working sooner. ;) The course will cost you (at age 17) about [/QUOTE]
