Which of these 2 would you choose?

Just came across this post again.

Wow, where have 2 and half years gone, they've flown past.

I really owe you guys for the advice you gave.

Ended up doing 2365 C&G at college, levels 2 and 3, which I completed a few months ago. Done my 17th edition, and EAL inspection and testing, whilst getting part time experience as a mate on domestic and commercial.

Now that I am in the industry and know a lot better what is going on, I cringe at the 2 options I had initially posted. These Electrical Trainee courses would have really done me over. Even with the college course alone, I would have been no where without the experience. Site experience with a time served spark is everything. Slowly do the courses over a couple of years in college, but focus on getting experience is the way for those too old for apprenticeships.

And a certificate for fundamentals of electrics lol, what was I thinking. These training centres really know how to take advantage of people unfamiliar with the industry.

Thanks for saving me from these fast track courses and being scammed £1000's.

Really pleased for you well done mate

I agree working with an electrician helped you gain relevant experience but unfortunately the reality is not everyone is luckily enough to to get this option so sometimes people have to take various other routes hence why I believe these Electrical Trainee courses took off & gained so much popularity.
