[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 502233, member: 16173"] My then c*** of a governor was particularly dismissive of training and anyone bettering themselves. His theory was if he supported/paid for training he'd lose staff once they had bettered themselves. As an apprenticed mechanical and production engineer my industry ended up going more and more "electrified" so I decided to go back to college as a mature student to get some formal training for what I'd been doing anyway for years. I'd been the mechanical half of a pair of engineers for years with my other half (not in that way) sparks teaching me more than I ever learnt at college subsequently. I owe him a lot. He was happy to give/teach and I was willing and wanting to learn. I thus paid for my EAL, 2330 and 17th out of my own pocket and in the case of the 2330 used holiday for daytime exams (funnily enough the test and inspection component) at college. Ditto the then 4 day 17th. The to$$er was never shy though at pointing other engineers towards me for (electrical) help. Now I think I should have jumped years ago when my (now barrister) brother could have gotten me into the civil service as a pen pusher! 😂 At least my new governor seems to recognise the importance of training.
