No O or A levels or whatever they are called now - Labour party withdrew funds from our grant maintained school in the seventies so could not afford them or go to uni.
However, since school:
City and Guilds Carpentry and Joinery - 3 years fulltime = 40 hours on site + 20 hours college per week
Advanced City and Guilds Carpentry and Joinery 1 year fulltime = 40 hours on site + 20 hours college per week
Challenge any modern day student to do the above courses. Had to work for any qualification then and this was when the working week was 48 hours, and since those:
City and Guilds IT Literacy
City and Guilds Applications Programming (apparently equals NVQ 3)Comment
