Adt Apprenticeship

[Guest aaron8z8]

Hello all,

I have been invited to a //.National Installer.// apprenticeship presentation/interview.

I would like to get this apprenticeship because i have an intrest in fire/security eletronics.

I have no formal background in any off the areas.

I was hoping if any one knew what sort of day this will contain and how can i prepare for it.

Regards

well //.National Installer.// are not a very good firm because they will not take any trainees on over the age off 24 even thought I am paying for all my training myself at night school. so how can it be a good firm to work for.

Err, //.National Installer.// have their own training centre in Birmingham and are one of the largest employers of trainee installers. You'll find most firms take this stance regarding cut off ages.

Would you expect to walk into a top job without experiance of the trade?

The industry is a hard one to break into (pardon the pun) and there is healthy competition for places.

I'd suggest a smaller co to get a foot in the door first, once you have a bit of experiance behind you I think employers will begin to see you in a different light

Best advise: Learn all you can about //.National Installer.//. One question usually thrown at prospective employees is "Why do you want to work for us, and how will employing you benefit us?" It is a stupid question, but easier to answer if you know lots about them.

Learn correct terms. eg. Learn what the difference is between a PIR and a dual tech, what SAB & SCB are.

Good luck.

There is a law on its way but you will have to wait till Oct for it.
