Hi Ive got a 4 year electrical engineering apprenticeship with a national company starting in September. Ive assumed ill be an electrical engineer technician because the college work only requires day release while to be an electrical engineer requires a degree. Im just wondering how does an electrical engineering technician compare to that of an electrician? Both roles require the same amount of time studying, but is there more scope for jobs in one role than the other? I see on the JIB rates technician is ÂŁ14 an hour while electrician is ÂŁ12. As an electrical engineer technician would i be classed under the JIB rates? And if i wanted to become an electrician down the road is it a small step between the two roles or would it require another couple of years studying/working? many thanks if you can help clear it up in my mind
