  • Is it wise for a man in his 40s to want to retrain to be a tradesman? I was think ing damp specialist....

  • Would you undertake a proper training course or get associated with a product or treatment and then sell that as a solution?

    I would imagine it would be useful to have some experience in the field as well as classroom training and that kind of means apprentice. Then you are in competition with a group of younger cheaper guys who are also keen to learn.

    I recommend getting training in any trades, it's a great way to avoid making a lot of mistakes. If you can afford real training and the time off it's a good idea. I trained and qualified as an electrician very late and as a consequence I only tackle minor works but I'm very happy to have had the training.

  • Yeah it defo took me a while back working with my old man to get into the swing of things after i took a long time away. Training for sure is the one but nothing beats real work experience im sure you'd agree. You learn so much on the job you never learn in books.
