They only do one test a month per test centre, or so they told me.

It’s not hard, but you need to revise !

Apply for electrical mate jobs with agencies.

You have to remember though, you are starting at the bottom of the ladder. You're not going to jump into a well paying electrical job with only a level 2 and no experience.

In regard to tools, if you use the forum search feature. say searching, "tools for apprentices" it'll bring up lots of good threads with tool advice.

When i started the level 2 it was hard. But as i progressed things made sense. Level 3 builds on level 2 foundation.

Dont skip thus year I fear you may regret it.

This is the problem with schools and training centres.

They say come and do a course in electrics, become an electrician earn tons of money.

They leave out the training time you will never get paid for. And the training and experience you will need.

In order to get that experience if you are committed and can afford to you will have to work for little or no money for 2-3 years. Then you start getting a better salary with experience.

After that and only after that can you achieve the rediculaously high wages we electricians allegedly get.

I think the problem with most customers / clients is that they equate the work charged to what they get paid.

Someone earning 20k a yr gets a tradesman to do the job and they work out thats like double what I earn in a day, you tradesman must be loaded, but forget all the training, knowledge, low income whilst building up your experience, also downtime between jobs.

Perhaps watching youtube videos has trivialised the work?

Early on I soon realised I was not very good at DIY and totally underestimated the time it takes to do a job, sure that will take half an hour, half a day later I'm still not half finished. My DIY skills start and stop at painting and some minor odd jobs.

Zaprinski, we have been this way before, I have offered help with your CV, regardless of how sparse it may be.
Many have said you have to start somewhere, in your case at the bottom I'm afraid, but that's often the case with newbies.
You will not get anywhere unless you start applying yourself, ask your local Electrical Wholesaler if you can leave a stack of your CV on the counter ( when you decide to construct one) someone will pick one up out of curiosity.
Which could result in a try out, whinging and whining won't get you anywhere, go for it, sorry for the blunt reply, but sometimes a kick in the pants is all that is required, all the very best.
