Becoming An Electrician Help Please!!!!

[sibs]

Hello everybody, was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction in becoming an electrician.

I have found this course Electrical Courses, Electrician Training which offers a 17 day course for £2200, it states you gain part P and domestic electrical installer qualifications. Is this good?

What other courses or qualifications would i need to take to become an electrician??

How long does it take to qualify as an electrician. . . . . 17 days??

Thanks Michael.

Thanks, Steve

That's what I hope to be doing pretty soon once I have a little bit more knowledge and confidence. Just need to find the right kind of company to take me under their wing.

Hmmm I was actually thinking about housing associations or the council, and I expect to do some free work as that will help no end with a) the course and b) more importantly the big picture of getting experiance.

Looking forward to getting out and seeing some real faults and finding the solution.

Cheers,

James.
