@Corksfinedtboy had to undertake an online induction course for a six week decorating contract. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the required 8 out of 10 questions right at the end, so won’t be getting the bit of work or the lodging/subsistence supplement.
That’s my reading of it.
Sorry to hear it pal @Corksfinedtboy. You’ve put up some great examples of your work lately and keep on truckin’
It may have turned into one, looking for a foreman painter aswell, long-term I reckoned, anything in my line of work to hard lasts 6 weeks is heaven
You got it, precarious age over 60 who in their right mind would employ am old boy
Is there any way you could ask to do the course again? Maybe your young lad could give a hand while you do it if it was possible??
An older lad has the experience and the work ethic. If you’re still in the game, there’s a reason why you still get work and they’d be aware of this
Yeah you can do it until the cows come home, but honestly it’s a head wreck, lasts one and a half hours,+ ,fail the questions and you start again -feck that( start the whole lot I mean)
Get someone to sit down with you while doing it. Even if it takes another two attempts. Take note of where you go wrong next time. It could lead to more work. An investment of time in the future
I was a painter/ foreman in my past and can see it from their side aswell, health/ insurance risk, slower etc
I’ll sit it for you - all I ask is for 5% of your take home pay?
Good points thanks
Haha
Bad enough of paying an acquaintance 10 percent fir getting me work
Cutting yourself there
I wouldnt do you like that pal - 5% from an OAP is more than enough.
Ah here lad. If it’s worthwhile do it again ffs. It’s probably the same questions again at the end. Just find the answers to what you got wrong in the hour and a half and ignore the rest
This. You could let it play out and do something useful for the 90 minutes, like some valuable TFK time
Might be possible to skip through it as well depending on how it’s setup. There’s also the option of getting the phone out while it’s on the laptop and googling the answer.
Spoken like someone who has done mandatory online training courses in work that are to last 2 hours but hey presto he goes directly to slide 85 and then nails at least 7/10 in the test to pass🤔
There’s an art to it
