That's a very good question.
I'm not sure there is such a thing. Though there must be textbooks used on undergraduate courses? Anyone know?
In my humble opinion, the best way to learn is on the job as digging is more of a craft than a knowledge, also, different companies use different recording systems.
But then you may get trapped in the cycle of needing experience to get work, but can only get experience by working.
I'd say keep pestering units to give you work, ringing up every thursday or friday and politley asking if there is any work was how I did it. Do anything anywhere (within reason - just saw how that read!) that is offered and learn everything you can as fast as you can.
Also having a car (with buisness use insurance) a clean driving licence and the williness to carry folk and/or tools make you much more attractive as an employee.
Other than that, dunno, volunteer digs?
Anyone else got ideas?
