I’m looking for advice on my career progression and what steps I should take.
I am a JIB graded Approved Installation Electrician. I am currently 38. I didn't get into electrics until my early thirties when I decided to have a career change. I went to evening classes and studied:
C&G 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology Installation Level 2
C&G 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology Installation Level 3
C&G 2356 Electrical NVQ Level 3 Electrical Installation
C&G 2382-20 BS7671 17[SUP]th[/SUP] Edition Update
C&G 2391-10 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations
AM2 Certificate of Electrotechnical Occupational Competence
C&G 2377 Certificate in Portable Appliance Testing
and most recently C&G 2396 Design, Erection and Verification.
I paid for all my own courses and took my holiday to complete them. Incidentally I put a lot of effort in my college and scored a Distinction in every unit I studied. (Sorry Bighead).
I currently work for a building contractor with its own M & E division. Working mainly on large commercial building sites. I enjoy the work and I am always getting a good deal of experience but I am looking to the future and want to plan a path both educationally and professionally.
I really enjoy the studying and exams. I'd to study more by not sure what courses to do. I have seen there are HNC/HND courses but it is unlikely I would be released from work to attend. Are there positions where I could work and release me to study? Should I be looking to do Electrical and Electronic Engineering or Building Services Engineering? Are distance learning courses viable?
Thanks
Richard
