Re: Hi Hi guys,
The route I have taken was to enrol at college for 2 evenings a week for 3 years on the 2330 course. Yes, 3 years is a long time but it soon goes by and if you are in the trade then the course compliments your true learning curve on site. The course will not make you an electrician - only dedicated site experience will do this due to the huge amount of knowledge and skills base you need to acquire and there is no substitute for time i'm afraid. Having been a sparky for 2 1/2 years and now running small jobs, I am extremely wary of any course which makes you think you can become competent in a matter of days / weeks. Remember, what we do is dangerous both to us and the customer potentially - we are working with a killer in the wrong hands.
Most will find the 2330 course relatively striaght forward to pass, with 2391 being far, far more difficult and complex. I know sparks who have been testing for 20 years to fail the course! Whichever route you decide to take, remember - you will be learning for the rest of your life as there is no way any one spark can know it all. Above all, good luck and enjoy! |
