Engineer training

[Ianyogs]

Hi
I’m currently a site services engineer and look for a career change to white goods engineer.
I have a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer for me please.
1. Can you recommend a good training course.
2, What’s the chance of getting a job with no experience.
3, pros and cons of the job….warts and all?

Thanks in advance
Ian

Best bet may be to try with one of the big boys to do the training and get a few years experience. I did 10 years with hotpoint before going alone
It is a hard trade to be in these days

Cheers for the replies guys
Was thinking of doing a training course off my own back to try and get into a company. wasn’t really thinking of starting on my own.
Is that a shitty career choice working for yourself or a shitty job full stop Martin?

There are many hoops to jump through and hurdles to clear if you plan starting out self employed. Working for a major manufacturer will give good grounding as to what lies ahead for you in the trade. I’m walking away from it having spent 50 years in the business. I can see little long term prospects for anyone these days, those days are gone. I can think of a dozen better trades to take up all of which are hands on with great prospects, though location could be an issue for you.

Send Knowhow your CV . As long as you spell your name right you’ll be offered a senior engineer roll. Don’t panic if you do get it wrong they’ll still offer a job.
