Title: Re: brickys Post by: madras on February 10, 2007, 01:14:16 AM you can normally take a bickies course at the local collage,once a company finds you're doing that they take you seriously,do work experience through them,then they'll taker on the better/reliable ones,the rest will always pick up work aswell.
thats the way i understand it.
