I'm an African I moved to UK a few years ago and currently I live in London. I'm planning in the future to return to Africa as electrical engineer.

I have been doing home studies, city and guild electrical and I have finished the 2365 level 2 and now I'm studying level 3.

I'm planning to use Thompson centre to do the exams but I want to gain practical experiences before I commit to pay the fees. From my past experience, you can learn a lot or understand more through practicals than sitting yourself behind the doors with some books and laptop.

I'm ready to work for free once a week just to gain practical side. I can travel anywhere to inner and outer of London.

You can drop me an email for an arrangements.

I'm very hard worker. Thank you in advance.
 
Sorry fell but I think your deluding yourself. Those qualifications and a bit of experience won't make you an Electrician, never mind an Electrical Engineer.

Thank you for replying. This is the long term plan. I have 2 days off every week. So, instead of sitting at home and watching television on one of the days off as I'm doing at the moment, I plan to use it to gain practical experience.
As for, electrical engineer is the long term plan, up to 5 years along with some studies starting this September.

I don't plan to call myself an electrician after a couple months. I know it is going to take years.
 
I've been there and done it. I'm not in a position to help but keep asking companies, keep pushing for your goals. I was successful in the end, work hard keep standards high. You'll get there in the end. Good luck.
Very encouraging.... Thank you.
At least there are some people such as you on this forum.

There are plenty of us on the Forum that will Encourage you. However the tone of your post made it appear as if you were like so many others that we see regularly on this forum, people that think they can do an online course and get a few days experience. Then go out and foist themselves on the general public as "Electricians". Nowhere did you bother to mention doing 5 years of study.
If you really want to learn and your registered on a Legitimate training course, why not register for trainee access ?. You'd have access to a lot of information and the advice & help of our training advisers, also a good read through the forum bit by bit should help, & then you can ask questions if you don't understand something.
