Natural Talent BTCV

[Amylou]

Has anyone had any experience with apprentiships with the organisation in title of thread?

[tufftie]

I've done lots of voluntary work for them in the past and their courses are excellent...so?

[Amylou]

There is a paid apprenticeship going but i think i may be over qualified for it. Also they said that there are 3 placements and im unsure if it means i would need to travel for days at a time.

Details of Natural Talent along with contact details for John, the guy who runs it in BTCV are on this page BTCV Natural Talent

Hope that helps.

Thanks for link. Only thing is i dont want to ask them if these placements require over night travel as it may look like i am not enthusiastic. I am! Its just i have commitments at home so i cant stay away.

Tufftie has being telling her BTCV tales over the months, it must have been something which is still very close to her heart. She told me about all the laughs she had within the groups and that she made bridges and boardwalks and all sorts of other good projects, but until last night when she had shown me the photo's, I was so impressed at what was achieved and wished then atm that I had gone out & done BTCV work, absolutely fantastic!!! I wish you the best & it Amylou. It looks like something you will love doing, have fun doing, have great memories of and no regrets.

Don't worry, that's a perfectly reasonable question to ask. I've done some training with BTCV in the past, and they're sensible down-to-earth people who don't make unreasonable demands. Go for it

You will reget it forever if you don't do it, talk to your family
