    Hi
    I am currently looking to go back to college and study level 1 and 2 cskills carpentry and joinery. I understand that these quals are diplomas and not nvqs but I have no other options as I can't find an apprenticeship anywhere. I have been offered a job within a bank earning 15.000 a year but it's not what I want for the rest of my life (I'm 18 by the way) so I want to do joinery.
    Upon completing the course will I be a qualified joiner even without nvqs? I know a lot of companies won't take joiners unless they are nvq qualified but I need a company to get my nvqs so how does that work?! Basically what I'm saying is. Is the course worth doing and getting my level 1 and 2 or is it pointless without an apprenticeship? I'm from the Skelmersdale area so if anyone wants an apprentice or knows anyone who does that'd be great. Ps: my birds dad is a self employed joiner and he reckons it's worth me doing the course. Please help lads
