Nhatt, you just shot me in your foot, or vice versa.
Sorry, didn't mean to belittle Cytech3ed techs, if that was aimed at my post.
I don't mean to suggest you can be flaky. It's just a reflection of my experience with these qualifications. I've spent 20 years in the motor trade, and have done several of them.
My disillusionment with class based learning, that leads to a useful bit of paper, is that the same ground could be covered in a few hours, if the set-up allows you a few hours a week with a good workshop foreman.
I haven't worked in the bicycle trade, but I have just done a City and Guilds NVQ for Bicycle maintence and repair, and didn't learn much. The course wasn't aimed at me, but I couldn't progress in the bicycle field without it. But I won't be doing the level 3 unless someone else pays.
I can't apply for the job, as I'm crap on a bike full stop. And it's in Milton Keynes.
