    I have looked at the Massey course, though I donno if I'd make it into that, as one has to do a design portfolio etc, and I'm not 100% sure I'd make the cut for that :confused:

    Have you got some examples of your work? maybe a bit of mentoring and sweet talking could assist you in your quest.

    Re:

    That's all good, if you have a good engineering background you should be ok. Are you pretty good with Autocad? CAD ect?

    Well I'm no engineer, far from it lol. I can hold my own with AutoCAD in 2D work, starting to dabble in 3D work.

    Been using it for 2 years now
