Re: Technique Training 15 day Course.
The C&G 2078 will allow you to work for the next couple of years, but will be invalid after 3rd July 2011. After that date you will need C&G or CITB 2079.
That course seems like a good place to start, and you can at least gain experience and earn a few quid while preparing for the 2079.

Re: Technique Training 15 day Course.
Jaeck75, Thanks for the reply and info. Would you say it is not worth it then?
Do the qualifications carry much weight, and was it/ is it easy to get a job with the qualifications you gained?
Were the exams hard?
Thanks for the help !

Re: Technique Training 15 day Course.
hello,
there are a lot of these courses around and I personally think that you would be better off saving your money. Try to find a company that will take you on as an apprentice / improver so you can learn from a competent engineer. then go to a reputable college (i.e. Grimsby or college of north west London) and study your nvq 2-3.
an employer would (should) look at this 15 day the fully qualified course and regard it similar to a 25m swimming certificate.
Hope this helps
steve
