go for it. i just would prefer to be out doors than in.

[pward]

there are funding by the college that helps towards course fees, but the deal is it would have to be ur first level 2 qualification, but can get help from the college for kit ie ppe, but i knew people that already had there ppe and brought the climbing kit with the monney, its called a learning suport fund, but there is more funding out there its just talking to the college and seeing what can be offered to u, but as well doing a course is a cheap way to do ur tickts and some of the stuff u learn do help, but pratical lessons are not like doing the job for real (i found studying at cannington) its just to get u thew ur lisences. but all colleges are diffrent

Really !!

 

I've just spent two hours in 6" of snow on a Sunday afternoon getting out the MEWP and getting it ready for Monday, laid on my back under the trailer trying to free a stuck cable.

 

I'd rather have been fishing about under floor boards inside feeding pipes through.

 

But I can see where your coming from in the summer months

So what country is it you have emigrated to then?

 

 

I would say for those good 3 or 4 days a year, when the weather is just right, it is great working outside:thumbup1:

 

 

 

 

Seriously though, listen to Dean
