Hi all.
Like many others I’m looking at retraining to become a domestic installer and have visited every website going offering amazing 15 day courses.
My background is as a data engineer and have been for over 20 years, working alongside and with the electrical trade. I’m quite familiar with house bashing, running cables, containment etc. I’m also quite competent with electrics having re wired 2 houses plus did a major refurbished to part of the office where I worked previously ( all checked and signed off afterwards) have also been pat testing on and off for the past 18 months.
I do see one of these courses right for me with my background and while I don’t think I would come out knowing everything I’d like to think that the knowledge gained would ensure that what I was doing was safe and comply with regs.
Being in my late 30’s with a mortgage, kids and bills. Taking a long apprenticeship or college course just isn’t possible so don’t really see an alternative to this style of training.
I’m not looking to pass and then drop what I’m doing with data. But move into the trade gradually around my current work.
