    computing Apprenticeships/Courses

    At the moment i'm working in Retail and no offence to anyone thats in it or has been in retail fulltime but i bloody hate it i've always liked Computers and find it rather Easy getting the information stuck in my head.But i don't want to attend college fulltime it just isn't me,I'd prefer to pay/work and do the course in my own time while getting help from the company!

    But My Question is does anyone know of a cheap/reliable/Helpfull place to try?

    I'm 17 and I'd love to do Webdesign/Programming/Flash or be a PC Engineer

    I know of two companies in Manchester/Salford that do computing/IT apprenticeships. I can't quite remember their names, but if you're in the area, I'd be happy to find out for you.

    Are you in an objective1 funded area? There are some good schemes up for grabs for free. However most would require you to attend one day of college a week, whilst working the other 4 days. You'd get paid for this. (but not much!).
