Newbie asking for advice

[Anthony Deakin]

Good morning all,
I am a timed served plasterer and wanting to change my career path. I have been talking to electricians on site and trying to understand the basics of domestic electrical work.
I have been online to look at courses and was taken back how many there are out there. I want to obviously be qualified but wanting advice from the pros on the best way to achieve this. Ideally a flexible course at your own pace but the easiest option is sometimes not the best one.
I am based in Cheshire near Warrington.
Thank you

Hi Anthony,

Why domestic? There are lots of people going into the domestic side. You might say it's saturated.
A few years ago I did a search for an electrician, using the link below, and got 150 in a 5 mile radius from my house.

you can always tell a time-served plasterer by his accuracy. a good one can land a trowel full of finish in a sparks' toolbox from 25 yards.

I would have a look in at the local tech colleges and see what they have to offer. Probably better than these fly by night private training companies.

When a builder has to add another storey to the building, he has to make sure that the foundation can hold the weight, because the building will stand on it. To get an

There are quick courses you can do. To get yourself working in the field.
