I’ve been made redundant recently and rather than look for another permanent training position, I want to try working for myself as a contractor. I’ve been doing IT and soft-skills training for a contact centre for the last 2-3 years.
Any advice would be appreciated (also I noted that there is an online workshop on wed 30th Jan about ‘going freelance’ on this site)…is this still happening?
cheers

Contracting
Hi Jon,
I am a contractor working as an IT Trainer and am also considering freelancing. I’m afraid I don’t have any suggestions to do with freelancing, but I have found a really good site for contractors… I suggest you take a look at ‘The Computer Contractors Guide To The Galaxy’ at:
http://www.cc400.demon.co.uk
A fellow contractor has set this site up and he offers advice on things such as accountants, agencies, company set-up and IR35.
Good luck!
