Welcome.
Entry fee is one cheesecake, payable on arrival. The enigma machine in the corner is for deciphering Buzz’s messages and speaking as a proud Scotsman…… it’s never my round.
You can ask @Dan or @Lou for a tag on your name, either DIY or Trainee so that any questions can be answered with your experience in mind.
Other staff might also have that ability.

- Didn't seem to be a suitable label - I have 25+ years of IT associated installation & cabling experience, plenty of hands-on electrical installation work in domestic (non-notifiable) and small business settings but never enough to tip the balance to go down the pro electrician route vs focusing on IT. Feeding that interest I'm now however a couple of weeks off sitting my 18th Ed exam and will probably do C&G 2393 after that.
"Trainee" didn't seem right as I'm not fresh to the world and on my first ever formal training yet I'm not currently formally qualified down a traditional route.
Hello & welcome! Also based near Norwich - just wondering if you've got as far as selecting somewhere to do your certifications?
Hi, thanks for messaging me. I’m starting on 30th January with TradeSkills4U at Gatwick domestic installer and solar. This was the recommendation of sparky mate. Initially I was looking at colleges but couldn’t find anything till September this year.

Sounds good. There does seem to be a lack of anywhere local to train unless you either want full time or 1 evening a week for 2 years. Nowhere offers anything flexible and I've not got the patience to spend 2 years on the basics. Think I'm just about ready to sign up with Thompson Training in Bury St Edmonds but will have another look at TradeSkills4U.
Thompson Training sounds good too, I’ll keep you updated with my progress. Good luck mate!
