hiya guys,
this is my first post on here so sorry if it is crap!!
basically im 21 and have just completed a fast track course in to plumbing (tech cert. 6129) but am finding it very difficult to get into a position at a company to further my knowledge, but a position has become available for an apprentice refrigeration engineer and i was wondering (as i know minimal about the industry) is it a good trade to get into?? do my previous qualifications count towards anything??? (other than the basic plumbing skills I have an NVQ level 2 in Land based service engineering.)
Also when i paid for my fast track course I also paid for my NVQ level 2 in plumbing and was wondering if it was possible still to achieve this in the refrigeration trade as i know it is a work based qualification??
any feedback would be great
cheers bob
