Career Change
Hi all, I am about to embark on distance learning whilst working my current full time job. Supposedly taking 2 years to complete to 'fully qualified'. At a cost of 10% of potential earnings. Which they say is £7,000. Is this a fair reflection? Is there still a shortage of electricians? Cheers.- CJW18
