Next step - Kingswood fast track?

[Ben88]

Hi all, first post but I've been reading for a while now. 

 

28 year old newbie here. Took a change of career when the option presented itself at the start of the year moving from retail/sales to working with my uncle (an arborist since the late 80s, one of those crazy 50+ but still climbing sorts) with the intention of learning the trade as a climber. Now 9 months in and my position with him is due to end at the end of the year because of location (currently travelling from Devon to Hertfordshire and back every week and the missus and mini-me are a bit fed up of it. 

 

Considering what my next steps should be and have been thinking about the fast track course with Kingswood as it seems to be well priced and reputable. Have read previous posts about this and the opinion has always been 'get some experience first'. Obviously I have been getting some experience so I'm curious if this would be a well recommended next step. I would ultimately like to work for myself and if working as an employed person I would only want that as a short term solution. 

 

Just looking for thoughts and feedback really, sorry if I've rambled!
