what should I expect with the training and then the shadowing the engineer ?

I'm in the Birmingham area.

I know the pay wont be good for the first few months but what's everyone's opinions ?

ive installed aerials and satellites and worked for AVC and Fujitsu on the Virgin contract. But not sure what to expect about this position.

Re: New Member Introductions
 
Hi everyone, just been reading a lot of posts, I've been BT poling for over 17 years for contractors never for BT, I've been trained and accredited in all aspects of poling, cabling, d side plus e side etc of BT works, I'm a accredited BT planner etc, the trouble is if I worked for BT I'd never get half the jobs I'd been given done but I have by different methods, all to FEQ rules. I'd never work for mj quins but I have for Kelly's,
I can't understand why someone who is already trained to BT standards is needed to complete a Kelly's course then get charged for something that they already know, when I left, I got deducted monies for training purposes for training...............
I still work on the BT network for poling if interested contact me on foxey33@hotmail.co.uk

Wow congratulations to anyone who has been successful, recieved my contract offer this week after a call to confirm I had been offered an 18 month contract.

Im ex BT Retail and looking forward to joining OR and carve out a career.

Anyone starting 3rd November in Stone Yarnfield, been there for a H&S course and plan to stay over even though I live kind of local.

To anyone who wasnt successful or on a waiting list dont give up.

Yep happened to me. Got a date for an interview with only 4 days notice. . Then an email to say that as my apt test result was not in the highest I was on a waiting list.
