Hi All,
Just to introduce myself, i am an apprenticed served electrician, way back in 1980,
i was a JIB registered, approved electrician, with a C+G certificates in electrical installations 236 course, parts 1 + 2. in London. The shopfitting company that i had worked for, wen`t into liquidation 1 yr later. Got involved with the telecom industry, which i spent 17yrs with.

I was recently made redundant 6 months ago, and decided to utilise my qualifications, by getting back into the trade, as an electrical domestic installer, with prospects of completing the 2391/92, test and inspection C+G cert. At 51yrs of age, am i too old now ? or is there a possiblity of me still surviving, in the present climate.

Any helpful feedback will be more than welcomed, with reference to my posted thread.

Hi buddy, got made redundant myself a few years back at the age of 36. Converted my industrial quals by doing 2330 at night school, regs course and eventually 2391. Been going nearly 4 years now, sometimes frustrating & sometimes rewarding but always challenging. Did not know how it would pan out for me but glad I took the plunge as no two days are the same.

Good luck out there.

Regards wa

Welcome young man
You have a few years to go just yet (and a lot of attics to wriggle through if its domestic for you)
You are a trained spark who may need some refreshing, but too old,not at all,it could be a useful selling point to obtain work,if going it alone is your aim.

The present climate is the doubt
Us older attic snakes can find it is getting a bit dodgy with work availability and thats with maybe years of word of mouth contacts
But its definitely worth a go if the work can be found
Good luck
