Hi all i am new here.
i have spent a lot of nights on here researching but nothing really relates to my situation.
so i want to retrain as a sparky at 24 but heres the problem, i have multiple sclerosis, a 3 year old and house so college/apprenticeship isnt really for me due to financial & family commitments & also with my ms i can have really bad days where i wouldnt be able to attend college or go to placement. I am currently a mechanic but it is very very hard work. So the only viable option i can see is to train through olci and become self employed so i can just work at my own pace. olci claim that with their qualifications i would become fully qualified and be able to set up my own business as a sparky, i understand that nothing compares to good old experience but is it a really viable option?
Thanks phil
