Need Advice

[HH57567]

Hi,

So I need some advice, I’m currently doing a fire and security apprenticeship and I don’t really like it and I’m not really interested in it. I’ve always wanted to become an electrician and do an electrical apprenticeship. So should I stay on my current apprenticeship and get the qualification and then do an electrical apprenticeship later or should I quit my apprenticeship now and start looking for an electrical apprenticeship.

A lot of the practical work is the same, but without the extra regulations that 230V mains voltage brings.
Any electrical work will still need a logical mind to understand

What im trying to say is, what makes you think an electrical apprenticeship will be any different, if you dont like F&S, how much would you like "general" electrical work?

What in particular don't you like about your current apprenticeship?

It depends on how far through you are, if you are in the first half then I would suggest you switch over, if you are in the last third then see it out.

When you switch having an existing trade type qualification prove that you can commit - and it also makes you multi skilled which is an advantage over others.
