Training courses

[Blitz-Dem]

Has anyone been on one of these training courses?
if so how did you find it?

also if you done one of these courses.. could you go & get work from it? ... i understand theres alot of rules & regs..or is it just the case of finding an employer who's a lil bit more lenient?

i understand a crash course is not all you need but its a start right????

You will need your F gas as a minimum.

A two week course isn't going to turn you into an engineer, if its a good course what it will do is give you a foundation on which to build.

I don't know what employers in general look for in a new employee, personally i'd want to spend a day or two on various sites to see if i thought they had potential and to see what they are like as a person.

I've 'trained' two appretices, one came out of the army, did a months course and joined our old company, he's now a senior engineer with another company. The other apprentice did a short course with pendle, having come from the building trade, he is now my business partner.
As an example i think it wasn't until their second year that i allowed them to do flares let alone any brazing

Good luck!
