Hello and firstly Happy Xmas/new Year to you all.
I'm a 42 year old bloke looking to retrain,or rather go back to what I started doing when I left school,and that's become an electrician.I only did the first year of an apprenticeship in 1983 so things have changed!
I've been working in I.T installations until recently,and have been building an extension to my house which fired the electrical interest once more.
I realise it's a bad economic time to be looking to enter any construction related trade,but i'm an optimist and believe that the trades are still needed and things will pick up.
My main queries are what route should I take?I've seen courses like Trade Skill 4 U etc but realise that I need a 2330 to be a qualified electrican-or is that wrong??I have a local spark who will have me working for him for free in my spare time,which is handy.
Exams and learning have never been difficult for me,so I have a capacity to learn quickly and am confident I could get the bits of paper quickly-but which ones,and in what order???
Sorry for all the questions,and any advice would be appreciated!!
Cheers,Mark.
