[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 495341, member: 1408"] I just re read your opening post , didn't clock that you've done 10 yrs as a mate . I'm going to change my reply slightly . I was thinking , get in with a sole trader or a contractor , probably have to do any courses at night school . If that doesn't work out ,( and its not easy to get a start these days ) , I'll go against my basic instinct on "Short course training " and say do it , BUT make sure you are taking the correct theory course. Short courses concentrate on Domestic installation ...there is a whole other facet to the trade which you won't be covering . I say this because you must have picked up 10 yrs of useful experience already . The other thing is I think there may be a shortage of electricians in not too distance future , I'm seeing a lot of 100 yr old sparks like myself who are semi retired but not so many younger ones . Manager at my wholesaler reckons the 100 yr old brigade spend more than the full timers. [/QUOTE]
