in my experiance stear well clear or JTL. i am with them at the minute. it takes ages you have to fill out stupid log books the exams are easy you dont touch on every aspect of BS7671. i am right at the end of my apprentiship and im in my 4th year i have just taken my AM2 which i failed one section of, bloody good i fought, but ill be glad when i am rid of JTL.

When i say you dont touch on all aspects of 7671 you prob wont have a clue what im talking about but thats fine as i didnt whn i started with JTL and you dont realise what a two bit course the jtl one is untill you start working properly and talking to other elctrictians about college and what they lerrnt and did, i found it a very rush quick course, you only do 2 weeks of college in the third year (is it worth it?), if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask.
