[QUOTE="morgiee, post: 412244, member: 7679"] Yeah thought that with it only being a month, however it has been useful as it given me an insight into being an electrician and hopefully a step in the door when it comes to entry requirements for college This is exactly what i was hoping John, i dont see why it would be an issue if say a year in they want me to develop a portfolio of specific jobs i have done. I could do the written part and then ask my sparky if i could volunteer with him for a few days and document with photos or even arrange the assessor to come to the same job that day to assess my work Ideally working full time would be better but its no longer practical for me now at my age with things like commitments. That way i can continue with my daily job, go to the college course every Tuesday night and from what i see it is a two year course so this being the nvq that people would want from me. I refuse to accept that it is impossible or not possible for me to retrain and within a few years be qualified. If i stick to it and do as much practical and theory work why i cant be just as qualified or near qualified as someone who has done it as an apprenticeship I appreciate what you are saying and i can imaging it is very difficult as your going down a specialist field working with high voltages. However im only aiming to be a all round domestic / commercial electrician. [/QUOTE]
