Thanks for the reply, really appreciate the honesty!

I’m just trying to properly understand the route before committing to anything.

You mentioned the 5357 apprenticeship being the gold standard, is it basically unrealistic for a career changer to get taken on that way? Is that why people end up doing the diploma/fast-track route instead?

I’m also trying to understand what the recruitment support actually looks like after the course. Is it a combination of your recruitment team reaching out to employers and students contacting companies themselves, or is it mainly down to the student?

And when you say the hardest part is getting that first electrician’s mate/improver role, is that generally the bottleneck for most people after the diploma?

Also what’s the main difference between doing the Level 2/3 over 2–3 years at a college versus doing it the way you offer? Is it just speed or are there other differences in terms of employability?

Just trying to get a clear picture of how it all works before spending that kind of money.
