Newbie...and out on a limb
Hello,
My name is Randy and I'm very new to this site. I'm not actually an installer as of yet, but I'll be training for the next few weeks with a friend of mine who's been at it for 10 years. I just quit my job at a psychiatric hospital to make the jump to be an installer, so I'm a kind of out on a limb as I have no job yet. But I hope to take the NSTB certification test in June. I do have a question though. I'm taking the certification test through North American Cable. They're coming right here to Missouri for it. When I went to register, the lady on the phone kinda acted like I needed to go through a company to do so. Is that a problem, being as I have no company to go through? I want to be a sub-contractor. Also, if anyone has sub-contracted, is it better than getting on with a company such as dish or directv?
Any and all info will be a big help, thanks.
