[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 463982, member: 1408"] I don't blame you for changing trades Chris but I have to say what you are doing can be very difficult . You're off on the right foot with the NVQ , you'll need more than that I hope you know . We've had this question often on here ...its so damn difficult unless you drop lucky . Youngsters can't get an apprenticeship for love or money . I think ...others may have more input ....... that your best & possibly only option is to get a start as an "Improver " .. "Trainee" or Adult Mate and start to work your way though the levels . You just need to find a firm . So make yourself known , ask at an electrical wholesaler if they'll put your card up ...start emailing contractors with your details , you just need to drop lucky if you don't know anyone in the trade who needs a willing hand but not fully skilled . Look up local sparkies , use the Register of Electricians / Competent Persons / Part P / NICEIC / ELECSA / NAPPITT . / STROMA members . I can't help you myself as I'm semi retired now , only work two days a week but If I hear anyone needing an Improver etc I'll pass on your details . You need a list of the other courses you'll need to take , the other guys know them better than me . Don't take the 17th edition as the 18th cometh soon. Do you want to PM me with your details ?
