So I have told him I plan to leave, but that I don't have the details sorted yet. I think he was thankful of the solution to the issues here.
So is totally happy with me needing time to get it sorted, I even said that if the course was part time I'd be happy to still work here the other days until it suited us both to leave.
Again he was happy with this too. I think he has realised he'll be a little screwed if I just walk out - I do everything in the office.

So the gate has been opened, I just need to figure out which path to go.
But it feels nice to have done it, if a little stressful too.

I imagine I will pick the shorter more expensive route, as I am unsure how much I will learn two days a week stuck in a classroom with 17 year olds.
Hopefully everyone on the shorter courses will be there for the same reason, other than being forced to be there.
That's fair, at least they've recognised a change done amicably will be positive for all -Good luck! Keep us updated, I'm thinking of doing similar - years in an office has made me sick of the miserable politics, screwed my eyes, screwed my back (which may get more screwed doing a more hands on job).

If you're looking at electricianing - research the course very carefully, from what I've read some of the short express courses can be a waste of time and I think most need accompaniment with onsite experience that can be hard to find pre-qual
