Potential Trainee looking for advice on training companies

[JBrandon]

I'm currently an overhead Lineman working on the railways 25kv system, the work is purely mechanical and most of us have zero training in Electrical theory for the most part.

I'm looking to do the C&G lvl 2&3 (2365) through distance learning with ableskills to gain the necessary qualifications to work towards being a fully qualified electrician, I'm just looking for advice on potentially better routes without having to take too much time off work.

Hi & welcome, your local college might have what you want.

Welcome

Evening classes at college as suggested above is a great shout! Good luck!

I work nights lads on the railway powerlines so night classes would be a nightmare plus the constant moving around. I'd be looking to get on as an electricians mate after this course to get hands on experience for a while

Ah fair shout, I guess distance learning would suit you pretty well then.

Where are you located?

For the next few months I'll be between rugby and Oxford but usually Cheshire
