Morning peeps,

The following is my situation at the moment.

I am currently working as 2nd line support at Greggs the bakers, providing support to 400 users and over 300 shops.

My ambition is to become a Java developer but unfortunately, such a position does not exist in my company. They hire external contractors to do their programming.

I have got the opportunity from my work to be trained into Java by going on to different courses with the company paying for them. As long as I can prove it is beneficial to the company.

So what i plan is to set up a plan for 18-24 months of how i can go from a amateur to a expert. So in 18 months i am good enough to design their back office software the shops use to do the orders, sales, cash sheets etc.
This would help me convince them of creating a new position for me. I have thought of getting training as a trainee at another company but i would prefer to do it this way.

What i need help on is the type of courses / training i can look at? I prefer good training courses that i can learn alot from, as my company will be paying for.

Any other advice would be truly appreciated.

Thanks

Let's continue the discussion in this duplicate thread in the Jobs Discussion forum, where it is a much better fit.
