[QUOTE="DavyLeary, post: 72986, member: 5420"] Im 29 but when i was 19 i served 3 and half years of my time as an electrician ! or so i thought so for the first year but as i went around i realised other apprentices were attending college and i wasnt. My boss never registered me and after being promised year after year and basically doing the work of a fully qualified electrician, 3 and a half years in i was let go. Im now 29 and have no qualification. Its a major regret in my life but im fully commited to get back to it, determined in fact. 29 isnt really past it and i dont think any boss would have doubt because of my age, would he/she ? Now i am able to do the work of a fully qualifed electrician but i just dont have the qualification and want to know how to obtain it in Scotland. Iv enquired about things like Train4trade and access2careers but they have a high price and i just simply cant afford them as iv just become a father. Im now living in glasgow and its tough going over here (work wise). If anyone has any advice for me or knows someone that has been in a simliar situation please lt me know as i will take all the help i will get with open arms. Thanks [/QUOTE]
