hello

my name is piers Ive just registered on here today. when i left school i left with quite good grades none in i.t though . i completed a 3 yr apprenticeship in car mechanics after i got made redundant this year i am struggling to get back into the trade and i didn't particularly like the job after 4 years anyway. so i got a phone call the other day off computrain offering me an training course in i.t . after seeing the price tag and seeing so much bad feedback about the company i turned him down . Any way it got me thinking that i would like to train for a career in i.t. basically i don't know what sort of jobs there are out there and how i would train or anything i am completely new to it all . i would like to do something hands on with hardware etc as well as the sat at the desk sorting out software side of things . any advice in witch jobs to have a look at training for would be much appreciated . can any one point me in the right direction and if i do get trained up. what do people think the chances of me getting a job at the end are ?
thank you

That site also has a vacancy matching system and I have seen quite a few I.T Apprenticeships in my area. I have never done an apprenticeship but the main thing about it is that it'll get you a job and hands on experience, which employers value more than a qualification.

You could have a look in the yellow pages and ask local I.T companies to take you on as an apprentice.
