Firstly, welcome. How young are you and what is your current job? What attracts you to the industry?
Oh no!
Somebody said a electricians mate pays okay the other day. So on-site assessment is a thing for the tiling industry, so you learn on the job and aren't useless to the tiler (sparky). Not sure if that's a thing in this trade too?
Edit: you posted at the same time as me, I'm not saying Oh No to the spread situation lol - That's a good trade. Don't want plasterers knocking on me door now.
"an Electrician's Mate" Dan tried to correct that for youOh no!

Being self employed, you’re in a better position to follow your heart, than if you were PAYE. Can you buddy up a couple of days a week as a labourer for a sparks you know, to dip your toe so to speak? You could do your Regs (18th edition) as online study and just go to the exam centre for the test, that will cost you around £400 including the blue book. Thereafter you’ll be in a better position to know if you really want to pursue the career change. Perhaps do some extra muck spreading ? at weekends if you can to make up for the days you’ve invested in sparky work during the week.
I had better quit then, before it's to late, to save myself.Pmsl
Need to do a bit more than that Uncle Pete
I had better quit, then Dan before it's to late.
Looks' like you need that course as well, Loky11Do your worst Pete, im sure we've all seen and heard it all before ?

You could always speak to a training provider like JTL about an apprenticeship to get government funding for a position as a trainee. Since the government changed the funding regime last year, you can now get 95% funding at least at any age for an apprenticeship (assuming you didn’t do one before). Some companies will grade as a Trainee rather than apprentice which would give a higher wage recognising the benefit of people who have been in trades for a few years and have more real world experience. Might be worth asking the questionEvening guys, I wouldn't mind becoming a sparky, but with a mortgage and 3 whipper snappers I can't afford to drop to an apprentice wage, there's no night courses near me, what other way is there? Or isn't there? Haha.
It was a joke Loky11Think you need to join me aswell pal. ?
