So...To cut a long story short. I was made redundant during my apprenticeship (about 2/3s in) two year ago.
The firm i was on the apprenticeship with went bang so i didnt have the placement i needed for the NVQ and couldnt find another, so that was that. i had to take whatever work there was due to financial commitments. Now though, i'm ready to get back to the trowel and be a good tradesman. I'm competent at all the main things (skimming, floating, rendering, D&Ding, the usual jobs) and always do a great job, or at the very least the best i can do. (It makes me laugh when i see people with/without qualifications doing a poor job, but still in full time work!) I know it's all word of mouth but still...
Anyway i was just wondering if anyone had any advice on getting the qualification.
