    Optima ect C&G Electrical 2365 Level 3 Fast track

    36 weeks on a course doesn't sound very fast track to me! Fast track is more like the 14 day wonder sparks course. I am sure you could pay a fraction of that price for Level 3 at a local college maybe one day a week or evenings? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    PIR 40 circuits a day is it possible ?

    At them prices I would be sat making the results up from the van. On a serious note the testing team at work dead test anything between 20 and 60 motors a day when they are shut down.

    Can somebody help me understand these light wires please?

    Ok so the two reds will be a permanent feed which means even when the light is switched off at the switch these two reds will always be live. They need to stay together in the connector. One of the black wires will be a switch wire which is from the switch which should go into the brown on your...

    10-25mm crimper

    We used to use Erma Lugs but a fire happened on another site up the road due to a loose crimp on a soft start. Since that we now use Cembre lugs and I'm not sure how much they are but the crimping tool alone was £750 without a complete set of dies.

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Jib rates sounds too good to be true

    If you were with a JIB firm then you would actually get more as you get overtime rates after 37.5 hours.

    Sync Box on dragons den right now...

    Too deep. Far too deep for a standard plaster board stud wall. Far too deep for chopping box out. I managed to fit 2 x hdmi leads, 1 x scart lead, 1 coax lead and 1 x single socket chased down into wall and fits behind tv bracket no problem.

    Balfour Beatty

    Is it Balfour Beatty Engineering Services? I have worked on a few sites where they have been the main M&E contractor. They are a big company but last I knew a few years ago they were laying blokes off who had been there 20 years. They are a proper set up and will most likely pay JIB rates so if...

    Request To Work Live

    Probably like most Electricians on here I have drilled holes in top of live DB's. The usual bit of card underneath to protect any cables/swarf getting anywhere. I've only done this to get on with the job because of the complete rigmarole of getting into the DB. It has now come into place at my...

    is it really worth completing my apprenticeship/becoming an electrician.

    Would you rather be on £10-£13 an hour or minium wage which is below £7? Two of my mates have both been to University and have a degree and I earn more than them on my yearly basic than the two of their salaries combined! Stick at it!
