What qualifications do you need to be an electrician

[tomcat606]

Hi,
my profile is
Coming up to 50 next year, stuck in a rutt and wishing to move to be closer to my Son and Grand Daughter
But would love to be able to do it with a new start, and that includes a new career
I have spent my life in steel work of all kinds ,from fabrication to installation to Project Management and would love to join my son as an Electrician
Does anyone know what qualifications you need to be an employable electrician
I have seen many advertisements on the internet that promise the world, at a price some at £2000
Up to £5000 can anyone give me some good advice regarding this I am determent, physically fit and more than able to study the question is for what and with whom

Please help? Time is passing me by




Please any help appreciated?

Cheers
SteveM
