Hello

[Nothing Shocking]

Hi everyone,

I've just signed on a 4-day Foundation Course with a view to taking the C&G Domestic Installers course and exam. I've done a lot of different 'jobs' in my time (thus far), but nothing's really stuck. Almost finished training as a Primary School Teacher (last placement away from completion) but I was a bit useless at the politics of the job and dreaded going to school to work almost as much as I dreaded attending it as a kid. I would consider myself a hard-worker, but a bit aimless when it comes to career goals and a proper career trajectory.
I've been very kindly offered an entry-level position working as an electrician (he said the position would be mainly 'fault finding') with an acquaintance of mine, after I finish getting my qualifications (late December, fingers crossed). I am excited and terrified in equal measures. Hopefully I can learn all I need to know to be a competent electrician. Well, that's me, really, thanks for having me on board.

Welcome aboard. Sounds good instead of loafing about taking on the noble career of electrician. Unsung heroes we be.

''Tis the tapestry of our lives that make us what we are. Welcome aboard, I hope you find the training practical and theory exciting - the search button on this forum is the door to all your questions answered - oh and look up John Ward on YouTube. Great place to start for the fundamentals.

Thanks for the warm welcome! It's been about a month since I joined this forum and I've had my head down in the On-site Guide and 17th edition trying to get to grips with the information that needs to be digested. I know the book-learning alone won't make me a good spark. Years out in the field learning the trade, I reckon, is what is needed.
I can say that I am a lot less clueless than I was a month ago. I've got one more week of a C&G testing and inspection course to go before I'm finished with the Dom Installers qualification.
