Hi everyone, hope this is in the right place, if not feel free to move to appropriate section.
So here goes, I studied electrical installations from 2005-2007 and gained my C & G "16th edition", not full NVQ just college side as I had no apprenticeship employment. Upon completing the course I found it hard to complete the apprenticeship due to the recession in 2008.
I decided to join the military for solid employment during this difficult time, I served 5 years and left after some great experiences and some not so good. I excelled in radio technology, and always preferred the techy side of things rather than the soldiering side.
So in 2013 I rejoined civilian life and became a postman to keep fit and keep the money coming in. With the idea that I could somehow fishing my qualifications plus experiance and become a fully fledge spark. So what I am after is some honest advice on how to go about this.
From my research it seems difficult, but I may have come across a way in. Is it possible to do my 17th ed 2382 C&G exam then apply for a ECS card as an electricians mate, then start applying for jobs with this title. Would this job role contribute towards completing my qualifications?
I feel I have so much to offer in this trade, and feel wasted as a postman. Basically I want to better myself and career. Any help would be massively appreciated.
