work, p$$ing me off

[darkslag72]

im 19 nearly 20. been an aprentice for a year now, there happy to put me through collage etc im doin well. but the collage they send people to say im too old. 18 is cut off.
also the old collage they were gona send me to because im too old, now do not do the agri course anymore. so what to do? stay see what happens get a qaulification? or leave. i need good money urgent at mo.

Let your work sort the college placement out

18 is the cut off is bullish tbh.

Im 21 and started a new college when i got my apprenticeship and i was over 18 when i applied!

im still an apprentice now tho, soon to be qualified however

just hang in there, im doing plumbing at the moment and i just look at how loaded my boss is and hope 1 day that will be me

Just ask why the cut off is 18 do they discrimanate against adult learning? what you will find is because they get more funding for under 18's so theyre fobbing you off tbh.

all the best.

mate i think they would prefer someone slightly older, no offence to young'uns and all, but you have more life experience than a 16 year old outta school so will able to deal with things better!

lad on my college course started when he was 20 so sounds like bull shit why dont you ring college and speak to somebody else and find out if possible?
