[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 263020, member: 9512"] Steps, At least safedepth will have had the underpinning knowledge, which is identical no mater what branch of engineering you study, and Ohm is an Ohm, a Newton is a newton etc. Thus, he had a good platform to start upon, so not quite like someone from a totally unrelated occupation who has never studied or worked in engineering, or construction previously taking such a course and proclaiming themselves as an electrician. Whilst I understand your views on the Forces, I don't think that you can really knock the training, the principles are well taught, even though from then on things are highly specialised. Maybe the comment by sd that he learnt nothing, is a symptom of the situation, in that the 5w courses don't teach you the things that are needed for the work? Not having done one I don't know how much they teach about the differing methods of domestic construction you will see. Mind I have to confess, I have to hang a HEAVY load on a lath & plaster wall shortly, never done this before, so I'm a bit concerned about this, no matter how long you've been around there is always something to get you, just around the corner.
