this lad's going his hardest for the um is it the nic no it's um and i see eic alexa and then
ECA as well a bit of all sorts anyway it doesn't matter who i'm working for all that matters really
is that people are starting to listen to these videos and they're doing safer work they're
learning they're improving cpd is a big thing i'll get involved in i used to be a college lecturer
it's all about learning so a bit like him when you see the end of him don't think that's it i've done
my time that's it over and done with a lecturer or as a student that's it i've gone you're not you've
got to keep going back to college because our industry keeps moving and it keeps advancing and
you'll have to keep doing more and more and more everyone all of us need to stay in the game really
need to no true word and with that in mind the 18 videos landed you've done your off into the cinema
the stuff that we do is to get out there to as many people as possible to help them
change isn't easy no one likes change and if it could be the same from day one it would be but
our industry changes you're here today this whole is packed with new innovations and that leads the
industry and moves the industry on and then the regs book has to catch up a little bit so we're
always changing we're always changing and darren's kindly going to come in and see both our full-time
learners yeah and students are trying to get on to the domestic installer status yeah yeah yeah yeah
we do college talks so nic i seen alexa myself jake or one of the other team will come and do
college talks so we're going to come and see your students we're going to let them know about the
industry we do a technical bit as well we'll get their voting pads out and they'll be coding some
bits and bobs they see and stuff out and asking questions they're brilliant college talks and you
can use them as part of your enrichment and stuff like that so it's really good for to get involved
in and get in touch with which you want to know about that but more importantly we're going to
launch with you guys our student scheme so the student scheme is brilliant for your lads so the
girls the boys that are in the classes get them to go to nic eic or alexa look at student apply
to that they can download material people like your good selves yes there's other stuff there
for them to use as well posters bits and bobs to learn with revision and stuff content from me and
Jake as well and a few other little bits and bobs that will help you plus the apprentice of the year
competition where wait for it if you're a winner you get two thousand pounds of holiday vouchers
which is an amazing caravan this gigness and Jake goes with you is that about the deal as well
from the student's point of view is it free to access these stuff
you can be with anyone you don't have to be registered with nrc company or electric company
anyone can join up to the student scheme anyone can have a go at logging in you literally click
a button enter some details and you're away doing stage one of our competition two thousand pound
for the winner the runners-up get ipads and tools and equipment and stuff like that loads going on
for them and to meet billy last year i think billy is it oh he's a nightmare but yeah you will meet
billy billy will be there uh he comes along and generally gets in the way but billy from diy sos
he's there he's gonna be here again as well he's a great supporter fantastic word there we're keeping
the word free free access to their yeah learning resource material for access to their videos for
access to my stuff and he's even going to come out to college yeah we try and get down to see
as many people as possible if you can't get to his college and you can't see us let us know and we'll
look at the videos and just keep watching these keep learning guys the industry is changing and
if trust me if you take a little bit of time out you'll be behind the black ball don't move about
keep on going keep on learning keep on thinking about going back yeah i'll do another course i'll
get ahead of the curve because once you're behind it it's terrible he's trying keep up
is horrible it's hard enough anyway it is and that's good for us attraction because
we're putting hnc on as we move forward as now so we'll keep stretching them as well as
obviously the rules and regulations changes oh the h c j notation oh it's all coming back to me
so so in summary then worry about free stuff we're all about learning more about
don't think you're leaving college and that's it just think about right see you
soon you're going to be talking to people like him saying see you next time it's not
just about the first three or four years in the industry and that's it
you will never stop learning in this industry if you do you're doing something wrong yeah
i think that's the best way to end thank you very much darren cheers
