Evening all!! Sorry about not introducing myself first; didn't notice the INTRODUCE YOURSELF thread. Been self employed for a few years in London all single phase stuff, did 2 years at college from 2000 but couldn't finish because I needed a job as a learner but couldn't get one cos I was too old (30)!!Have taught myself( not to be recommended) just finished my 2391 at local college luckily with my tutor from college. Hope all has gone well. If I mess up on my posts please tell me but also try to explain why

[towny]

hi everyone, im towny,
hoping to take the final step into becoming a sparky.
im 28 and in final couple of months of 2330 level 2 course(doing night course), also upgrading to 17th in may and got 2391 and Pat course(does that mean howt) under my belt.
pretty scared about the final step as will after go selfemployed(cant find job with any electrical company).
thinking about just getting part p so everything is legal, but will cost about a grand as need test equipment and books. alot of cash as will only be part time cos cant aford to leave my job( sign fitter).
thought the route into the trade would be alot easyer after 7 years in the army as vehicle electrician, i was massivaly wrong ha ha.
any advise would be more than wecome and a push into the right direction. looking forward to picking your brains.
towny

 

[Stedger]

Hello Stedger here. Electrician in Newcastle upon Tyne area. Started out in the domestic market with my brother about a year ago after 10 years in industry. More of a change than i thought it would be! Nice to be your own boss, but it does bring the pressure.
I heard this was a great place for advice and tips, and from what i have read so far, this place is all that and more.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello.

[james hayes]

its only speech

to all the newbies above welcome guys

nice quote markspark666 i have one too about speech. "speech origionally was the device whereby man learned imperfectly to represent the certain thoughts and mental nuances of his mind. By setting up sound and combinations of sounds he developed communication but one which in its thick numbed inadiquacy degenerated all the delicacy of the mind into gross and gruteral signalling!!!!!!!!!!!
