Default Re: i'm a wanna be electrician

A bit of useful information for you. Im not sure spending 6K on a course is very wise at the moment. What I would do if I was you, is to find an electrician and shadow or just labour for him/her. This way your gaining on the job experience and getting a good knowledge of basic electrical work. It doesnt have to be on a permanent basis, just say at a weekend or equivalent. Then when your ready or you think being an electrician is for you (it can be a very dirty job) then you should enroll for the 17th edition 2382 and although not compulsory 2392 inspection and test. I personally would go back in another 12 months to take your 2392 exam. This way your saving a load of cash and getting a better education than just being force fed information in a classroom for 6 weeeks, and at the end of the course you still could have not passed any exams. Good luck
