Hi everyone,
I have been looking for someone who will take me on as an apprentice. I have been looking for some time now with no luck. I am just wondering if there is anyone who owns a garage, or knows someone who owns a garage on here that would be able to help me out. I live in Bishop's Stortford but i dont mind traveling. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

 

I remember when i did mine i did the first course (abc) then in order to do level2 u had to have a work placement which college sourced.

 

Been there, done that, wouldn't do it again!!

 

Got to start somewhere tho mate

 

How old are you?

 

Might be worth adding i am 22 and have almost finished the level 1 course. It is something i am passionate about and have always wanted to do. I dont even care about the crap money.

 

Borderline mate ... 21+ usually means no Funding for Apprentices ..

Best off trying a Dealer like Volvo. Scania, M.A.N etc etc .. they normally Have funded schemes for people like yourself ..

 

In northern Ireland you start at level 2, I quit just before I finishd, was sick of the shit money, got 200 quid a month for about 9 month then 15 quid a day, had to spend all my wages on tools

 

Have you tried Graham at GBS? Not sure if he's still in Stortford or moved to one of the Hadhams. He's a good bloke - good mechanic, races in a kit car series too. Was based round the back of 'budgens', or whatever name it's got on the front now!
