    Is work slower than normal?

    Gosh, I've been asking a lot of questions today, this one's a big ask. I don't know about the peaks and troughs of working in this industry but it feels like things have slowed right down in the last few months, compared to last years work.

    Level 2 work available

    I'm currently doing a electricians course and plan on getting my level 2 this year. I'm just wondering what work would be available for me when I get my level 2. I ideally don't want to be on apprenticeship wage as I can't afford to live on that. I will also be going for my level 3

    Can you sign off any work with a 30ma RCD.

    Hi, my question is. If I have an old wylex consumer unit with NB type 2 breakers (not 60898). Or let's say any CU for that matter. If it's protected by a 30ma RCD, will that pass the cert?. Or for example will the use of old mcbs not be up to standard. Thanks
