Doing 2 week pre-apprenticeship course at TAFE

[tankclare]

Just thought id write up about what im doing at the moment (is a bit exciting). Well heres the story (sorry if its a bit long):

Looking online at jobs and came across a plant mechanic apprenticeship going at mines near muswellbrook (huntervalley). I put in a resume etc as you do. Well a few days later got a phone call saying can you be at Muswellbrook TAFE on the next day. Got there and had talks about what was going on and that we have to do a 2 week training course on Auto-Fabrication at TAFE. The course is valued at around $2000 a head and we are getting it for free so thats a bonus. Anyway the company/program this is for has a heap of mines etc working with it and after the course they pretty much just choose who they want out of the course. Started the course yesterday so now im two days down and have another 8 to go. 5 days in auto mechanical and 5 with boilermaking.

May seem small and nothing to some but I'm excited and hoping to hopefully get a half decent apprenticeship out of this. To get into the mines would be like a dream to me.

Well thanks for letting me spill my crap lol
