[QUOTE="Jon48, post: 468641, member: 30498"] Hi all, I know this has been probably been touched upon many times before but I need some advice tailored to my situation. So I’ve enrolled on a City and Guilds NVQ level 2 Electrical Installation Course at my local college with the intention of possibly retraining to become an electrician; I’ve done some minor electrical work at home before and have recently become more interested in furthering my knowledge of electrics. At the moment I’m a freelance community art worker and have, in the past been a school teacher. So the big issue is that I’m in my late 40s, yes I know, I’m getting on. The college seem fine with this but have pointed out that I may have problems finding someone to take me on to complete the qualifications further down the line; I don’t really have any contacts in the industry either. So my dilemma, with the course starting in September, is- would I be wasting my time doing this course; am I being totally unrealistic about my becoming an electrician at my ripe old age? Any advice is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
