Re-entering The Industry

[Steph]

New to the forum & looking for some advice.

I am a time served industrial Electrician of nearly 30 years qualified to HNC standard, however I have been out of the industry for some time.

I am hoping to work part time as an Electrician again & am wondering what are the current requirements qualification wise, ie wiring regs etc.

Any help or advice would be gratefully received.

Where you think your work will, e.g. domestic? Will you want to work for an employer or self employed?

Domestic installation ?

There is a guy on YouTube called bokke electrical that did some useful videos on how to get back into electrics

How long have you been as you say out of the industry? Its currently 18th edition (Blue book).

I would expect most of the work would be domestic & most likely self employed.

I think the last Regs course I did was the 16th edition so I guess I'm pretty out of date.

Cheers Matthew, is that in the Industrial or Domestic sector? Or both

As a whole I would say but domestic can be a real mess!
