Anticipate that it will take about 18m to 2 years from finishing in the college to validating at an Area unit and you *shouldn't* be disappointed.
thank you for the all the responses and just to clarify the college is about 1 year and then you get posted to unit after 1 year that’s when you get pay rise to £39k or am i reading it wrong.
