You'll probably have to spend a year in college.

Its probably unlikely that a firm will just take you on, especially for anything engineering based - Its not like being a plasterer..

I know that a few colleges are doing engineering apprenticeships.....

I think the courses around here work so that your working with the company for 4 days out of the week and the extra day your at college

I know that it is highly unlikely a firm will take me on without a college placement, which is why i am also applying for college courses aswell (i wouldnt expect a firm to take me on without a placement)
