Hi folks
New to the forum world so apologies if I've done this wrong. I'm looking for some advice from some experienced tradesman!
I'm looking for a change of career and hope to eventually become a qualified electrician. I'm currently 30yrs old and I'm a tree surgeon (bored of it) and was hoping for some advice to move into this trade.
I have the full works... wife, kid, mortgage etc...
I don't think an apprenticeship is feasible due to the huge drop in money. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do it differently? I've found a part time/home study course which would mean I'd eventually receive a
City & Guilds 2365 Diploma in Electrical Installation Level 2 & Level 3 (Buildings & Structures), probably over a few years but it would be around 5 grand! Hopefully worth it in the end!
Would this, plus my 17th Edition be a suitable path to take and help me find a job once qualified? Or are there better ways/courses?
I understand I have would have little 'work experience ' but I can't see any other way!
Thanks in advance folks
