Training Course

Hi

I am currently out of work and have been advised at the job centre by the careers advisor I might be eligble for a rapid response course due to being made redundent in my previous job.

I have always had an interest in engineering and would like to take a course in either CNC machining or AutoCAD.
But I am struggling to find a course near me. I live in Portsmouth.

I have tried the 2 colleges that do courses near me (Highbury and southdowns). But their courses dont start to September.

So I am looking if anyone knows of any courses near here or any websites that can help.

Many thanks

    Unfortunately I can't help with the course, but I've been working in a structural CAD team in very large engineering firm for a number of years so if you need any advice regarding CAD or careers in the industry, I'd be happy to give my 2p worth

    I hope you manage to find a course :)
