Hello all. I'm in my mid thirties and looking to retrain as an electrician. I'm particularly interested in solar panel installation. Ive been researching the routes into the trade and I'm fully aware experience is everything. I'm in the north east and looking at the 6 week courses by tradeskills4u. I'm only interested in this course so I can get some basic knowledge and I'm fully aware I'm not a competent electrician on completion. The course would set me back £3200. I would eventually be looking at the nvq level 3 online once I have my foot in the door working in the industry. My question is, do you think anyone would take me on as a mate/labourer with the tech certs that this course offers? I'd work for minimum wage. Just need the experience to get the nvq 3/am2.
