Hi Everyone,
I hope you are well.
I managed to complete all my level 3 electrical courses, including the following:
• 18th Edition: EAL Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, 603/3298/0
• Building Regulations Part P – Domestic Installer: EAL Level 3 Award in the Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings, 603/0149/1
• Portable Appliance Testing: EAL Level 3 Award in the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (PAT) 600/4340/4
• Fundamental Inspection and Testing: EAL Level 2 Award in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification 603/0144/2
• Initial Verification: EAL Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations 600/4337/4
• Periodic Inspection and Testing: EAL Level 3 Award in the Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations 600/4338/6
At the moment I am looking for work however I have some issues how to....
Please note that I didn't do apprenteship, everything was thought a payed course.
I am hoping to find some work in domestic sector at the moment, however I have difficulties joining a government body scheme. Elecsa and Niceic require 2 years experience which I don't have and Napit offered me to do a competency test, but due to Covid 19 all centres are closed at London and the surrounding areas and I can not afford to drive 5-6 hours and spend a week in some town I never even heard of, both me and my wife made redundant and I really need to find some work. I was planning to do something with my qualification, but I cant even take on any notifiable work as its just way too expensive thought the councils. When I am looking at full time jobs most places are either commercial and require an ECS card or domestic but most companies are looking for someone who is registered with any of the government bodies. I just really don't know what to do, feels like I just waisted all my money and time with this.
I do apologies for all the negativity in my post. Please let me know if you have any advise, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Peter
