Anyone gone back to do a Mature Age/Adult Apprenticeship?

Best of luck and I would say go for it.

When we moved to ORange I looked and tried to get an apprenticeship as we no longer ha d amortgage etc.. (renting for 12 months).

At 40 I had little to no interest from employers, got impatient and went back into the IT world.

Not sure what trade you were thinking but I would look at those you can easily run your own business - builder etc

Decided I'd give carpentry a go at age 36 with one baby and another on the way. Enrolled in night trade at Brookvale TAFE. After three years got my certificate 3 building residential whilst working on site during the day.

Applied for my license and have operated my own carpentry business for the last 13 years.

Never looked back.  My advice is just go for it. You will only have regrets if you don't follow your dreams.

Some great advice there from all. Thanks

As everyone has mentioned it is a big decision and Im still young enough that if it doesn't work out ill get by. I have made a few phone calls and will be speaking to a few mobs next week that can show me the in and outs and expalain what pay packet I will get and what allowances will be available.

Thanks Oldmate, that is the biggest driver for me in going down this path.

Hopefully next week goes well and at least Ill have some figures to work with and will know if I can make it work. Thanks
