Career Change

Hi all,

I am about to embark on distance learning whilst working my current full time job. Supposedly taking 2 years to complete to 'fully qualified'. At a cost of 10% of potential earnings. Which they say is £7,000.

Is this a fair reflection? Is there still a shortage of electricians?

Cheers.

there's no shortage in the domestic sector. it's the opposite. too many sparks in a dog eat dog race to undercut each other to get the crappy jobs at crappy prices.

My aim is to get qualified at three phase and get to work in commercial/industrial. Surge protection, I want to go renewable as well but heard you need to be a plumber now too??
