    Perhaps the wrong forum, but anyway.

    I want to get trained up as a basic network tech and I was looking at this course

    http://www.tnseurope.co.uk/course/certified-network-installer-training-course

    anyone dealt with these or done something similar with a good career outcome?

    I'm fed up sitting in an office doing remote network trouble shooting for poor pay,
    I wanna get hands on with the physical network instead.

    The good pay is there for the guy who plans the deployment, the lads who actually do it are just monkeys at the coalface. You won't wanna be working in floor/roof cavities long term.

    Couple of guys on old grandfathered contracts doing laying or fixing but for the most part its a low wage manual labor job. A fair number of company's here just use electricians to lay their networking cabling.

    Just a FYI, I do remote network troubleshooting at the enterprise level and nobody I work with gets paid badly. Skill up and job up.

    Well I guess I'm fed up sitting at a computer for 13 hours at a time for low pay. That's the price of living in Donegal where jobs are scarce.
    This is why I want something more physically active too.
    Sitting is tough.
