A certificate in polymer processing is decidedly UNIMPRESSIVE. It's usually a 6 month course and all it means is that the plastics factory can put you right to work looking after one of the machines without having to start from simple worker, the ones that put the stuff into boxes and stack them.

I don't know how it is in the UK, but here in Israel if you plan to make a carreer in maufacturing, you get a fork-lift license. Why? The factory has to give you slightly better wages and deference.

After 3 months in a cannery I am reasonably well skilled, without any courses or certificates. Really isn't difficult at all.
