Hi everyone, My name is Shaun and i'm 36 yrs old and from Telford.
I have just signed up to an electricians course with train4skills. I have spent most of my workin days doin roofing & cladding, most work bein on a site and worked all over the uk. In 2008 i was told i had testical cancer , i needed a op to remove it . I had to give up my job as i had one or two problems after the op.
I have always wanted to train to be a sparky even though i know very little about it. ( Used to always go see the sparkys work while on site. )
Anyway i signed up with T4S and have just spent last few weeks looking at what i need to learn to pass my level 1,2,3 papers. I must say it is a big challenge ahead, but it's one that i'm looking forward to doin. I have done my first teachers assignment and got 98% most of it was basic H&S which i was ok on due to being on site and getting my cscs card along with my British Safety passport, allowing me to work on any gas or electric site in the uk.
I have been looking at other sites and have herd about a site called the ''Learning lounge "! I have had a quick look over there and think some of the videos might help me with my learning , I guess i will learn more easier with help from them ,as learning at home with just a book is quite hard at times.
As i have said before i'm completly new to all of this electrics, although i can fit a light, change a socket and basic things like that. So any help i get from you guys will be an added bonus.
Does any one know of any good free sites with videos , virtual reality training, etc then please let me know.
Thanks and hope to learn loads from all of you.
