    Wasted thousands doing level 2/3 can't find work

    Yep, yep, I know this all too well and was the reason why I went onto study electrical engineering, I now get more interviews because I've completed a HND. Really, i've just stopped caring and am much happier now, if anything comes up i'll take it but i'm not expecting anything.

    Do you need the 2391 course to certificate or is the 2330 enough?

    We did inspection and testing in college, and i'm wondering if I would need the 2391 course as well to certificate, or is this just to improve your ability to inspect and test? I remember filling out some sort of certificate on the exam. I have a fluke multifunction tester and it doesn't seem to...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    I was thinking maybe I could call up my friend who's an electrician working for a company to assist, maybe other trades could help if there on site. I wouldn't put myself in the situation of going on site and doing it the same day, i'd look at it, go away, then give them a quote.

    Yh and the majority of the jobs, if I can't youtube it, I could ask a friend or post on here the situation. Can find the testers on ebay for minimum £150 but would need calibrating.

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    I was thinking maybe you could look at what needs to be done, go away, look on youtube, then plan doing it. In practice it might not work because there's so many situations, but your in a much better position to do it when you have the confidence ;). Would prefer having a mate to work with but I...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    Yh I know, i'm just saying it's best to tell yourself you can not assume you can't, and pretty much do everything possible. I thought oh no I can't do that, but if you work at it long enough you find a solution eventually. Every time you do that your balls get bigger. I don't mean to be a dick...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    The funny thing is you find yourself a lot more capable when you say you can, it's just a trait of a loser to say "I can't", more like "I'll just tell myself I can't, because actually I can't be bothered, so i'll continue being a loser". You always hear oh you can't do this, you can't do that...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    The first £1000 you earn doesn't have to be declared, by the time i've earnt this from smaller jobs I can step up a bit and take on the harder stuff. If u have liability insurance then really your covered. It's just if I keep claiming on the liability insurance my quotes are bound to skyrocket...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    Well I did put an ad up on gumtree in poole looking to work as a mate, I had someone call me saying could I work on his house for free and I was going to meet today but he never replied strangely, probably because he felt there was risk. I'm not saying I'm competent, I just thought if he asked...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    Yh I've looked at quotes for public liability insurance and it's like £100 which is fine but I want to earn money before paying out. Would there be much non notifiable work? I'm thinking I won't really get much work if I do that. My plan is to go there check what needs to be done then just ask...

    Stroma Certification Scheme Is there any way of getting around being registered to sign off work?

    I've bought all the power and hand tools, and am planning to start up on my own doing small electrical jobs for people as a sole trader with small steps, the problem I think i'm going to have is being able to sign off the work when i've done it, my friend at college is working for someone so...
