Domestic Installer Training

[Enduro73]

Hi guys
Anyone done the domestic installer course withe Electrical Courses 4 You?

I'm a self employed kitchen fitter looking to do the course. I'm only interested in what's required for my kitchens, not full rewire etc.
I fully understand that I will be very limited in knowledge gained by these courses, but i simply just want to limit myself to what's required for my kitchens. The biggest jobs that will occur is the consumer unit change and upgrading the earth bonding, I know there the most important.
With my knowledge being limited, should I survey a kitchen and think I could potentially hit a snag, I would book an electrician. One of my old electricians whom I'm friends with has offered to be a helpline and even bail me out if things go ---- up.

I know these courses get slated for teaching slap dash cowboys that don't care about their quality of work or their customers. I'm not like that, I'm overly conscientious. This is one reason of wanting to do it myself, sparks I've used don't think like me and I've had enough. I dare say there are amazing sparkies out there but I've had no luck.
Reading about me and my work, do you guys think it's worth me doing?

The money I would spend I would get back in 12 months, so cost isn't an issue.
The course supplier is Electrical Courses For You.

Thanks for any help or beatings.

Not really. I can more easily 2nd fix without wall and floor units in the way; appliances & cupboard sockets etc I would do after or just as they were finishing off.

You run your business how you want to. When I was doing it, it made sense for not everyone to be working in one space; you’d just get in each other’s way.

I don’t see this concept as a reason to do the electrical work yourself.

Fair enough mate each to their own I suppose. I don't do other jobs where I can leave site and work, so walking away when mr sparks is in doesn't pay.
It is an option I suppose if I take on day jobs, but not much work is a day job. Plastering isn't always required, so even less reason to walk away.
