[QUOTE="morgiee, post: 411982, member: 7679"] Hi their thanks for reading this post will get you up to speed as to were I am. Im 25 currently work in retail but desperately want to change my career and become an electrician. Not ideal as iv'e left it a little late however retraining now while i still can. Currently i have been working a couple of days volunteering with a local electrician for the past 7 months now. In this time i have have been involved in all types of work, network CCTV systems, 3 x part p rewire, consumer unit upgrades inc testing and inspecting and general electrical faults. Im currently on a domestic training course with a company called PASS (this web link shows you the course im currently enrolled on). Im coming to the end of the course now my final course is a part p course. I successfully passed two City and Guilds qualifications: City and Guilds 2382-15 (level 3) requirements for electrical installation. (BS 7671) electricians City and Guilds 2393-10 (level 3) building regulations for electrical installations in dwellings I want to know what the next best move is. My aim is to be mainly a domestic electrician but can do all aspects of electrical e.g. CCTV install, alarm systems, test and inspect and sometimes small businesses. The sparky im currently with has been real helpful and has advised that ideally my next stage is to do a nvq level 3 which is 3-4 years. If this is the case OK, however due to some commitments would only work if it was a part time course and all portfolios could be done on specific jobs ive been involved in. Eventually with the right qualifications and personal confidence i will move to a permanent position. What would be you advise on my scenario? All thoughts appreciated. As i need to start planning my next move. Thanks [/QUOTE]
