A bit worrying when the instructional part of the course is only 9 days and you're in someone's house the next Monday with a drill.
😁
I know where you're coming from mate, it's just dumb sending people out on the network after a few days of ropey training. It wasn't too bad for me as I'd had telco experience on the virgin network, but even that is no where near as hard as the bt one. All i can advise is that on your first day you tactfully but firmly say you want a few days shadowing a experienced tech even if you won't be earning any money, and when you get that chance watch very carefully, don't be shy to take notes. Like I said in my previous post, the people who will have the short easy days are the ones who prepare the best. To be honest I went for the Kelly gig as a means to get experience on the BT network as my long term goal is getting in with Openreach direct. It's kinda going to plan as I'm waiting for my interview date for Openreach. Bu give it a go and good luck.
