Does this course avoid an apprenticeship, or do you have to apprentice afterwards?
I'm curious because I've heard firms are suspicious of paper qualifications and prefer to apprentice people directly.

This does avoid an apprenticeship, and I'm aware some companies prefer to apprentice,
So I will likely have to start at a lower position than maybe I'd like at first, but after speaking to a few people, a decent cv, even if it's not inns relevant field, with management experience proves me to be a reliable employee, which can be attractive over spotty 18 year old.

I do despair when people say it's awful that nopbody employs 18 year olds.
But it's their own fault for mostly being so fucking useless at everything.

That's definitely something.
My industry's changing, but it used to be similar in that they didn't like people turning up with armfuls of paper and no experience. I'm thinking of career changing myself, so I hope it all works out!

I'm going to have to interview well when I do get offers,
I need to show I'm not just doing this on a whim.
