I'm having this dilemma at the moment, think have decided to get more hands on experience, our college offers ANC level 3 for 2 days a week and logistically that would be a nightmare for me, plus the few hundred quid it costs for the course. If you're 19 or under it's free, don't know how old you are Meg but if you get it free I'd do it and try to get into a shop for 3-4 days a week. The ANC is on at our college while I'm there on a Tues and the stuff is very good, very professional.
