Steve thanks for the reply, please if you get time just have a quick look at the link. Its 10 week intensive, I could not live of apprentership money but we can take a mortgage holiday and survive on Gem's wages while I was away on the course. I've been making sealed units (glass) for the last 6 years, I'm 25 next month and its now or never. I take home £300 a week (basic) and with overtime £500 but that is doing 11.5 hour days and Sat. I will be on the same money in 10 years unless I do something about it!
What are you thinking of doing next?
