Hello everyone.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section was not sure. Am looking at courses at college and universities.
I have been a electrician for 18 years and I am now just turned 37 and to be honest I want more. Domestic sparky with industrial working thrown in over the years. I do a lot of alarm panel work but no new builds. (Got boring)
17th edition trained and few other qualifications thrown in. Working at hights, confined spaces, first aid, road works guarding safety course so can work on roads upto 40mph with my own guarding and anything higher with traffic lights. Sure there's more lol.

But am looking to do more training and advance my career but not sure where I can go. Was thinking engineering side or management but not sure what I can do with my qualifications as a sparky.

Any ideas are very much appreciated
 
Getting further qualifications without having an end-game in mind is likely to be an expensive and pointless exercise. I'd suggest you decide where you want to go first.

Can you afford to go into full time education possibly for a few years or are you thinking about night school whilst still holding a day job?
 
Perhaps project management? It's a move away from the tools but there are significant rewards if you're good at it. Prince2 training seems popular.
 
In the correct place and time yes, the correct place is your own thread the correct time is if you've read the hundreds of threads relating to your question and then still want to do it.
Whats prince2 training?
Would you guys recommend getting NIC registered and going it alone?
