Hi;
I've just started studying to become an electrician. Although I am offered 6 weeks worth of practical experience, I'm wondering how I can get more experience while I'm studying. Prefably paid experience.
I'm not studying through a college but through a company called train4jobs.
Any ideas?
As above really, my wholesalers has it on offer for a good price, they say it's made by Megger, all appears well.
But what is it like to use..
Does anybody have any experience with one?
I've come from a Fluke, which I like but is near double the price, so it's tempting.
