My journey to becoming an electrician is probably as long as some of you have been working as electricians.

My experience with electrics started when i worked as a system engineer for a sound company regularly 'playing' with 128 amps! During this time I started the BTECs towards becoming an electrician but work took priority. Fast forward 7 years and I started an electrical engineering degree but finding it was more maths than wires I transferred to Computer Science. Since graduating I've spent a short 13 years working as a CS teacher before quitting this year and completing a zero to hero course in five weeks.

The good news is I have a very good mentor who has given me lots of work experience, supports me with jobs I'm yet ready to undertake and is always at the end of the phone.

However, for my own comfort I need to start seeking a range of opinions and severing the metaphorical umbilical cord so here I am!

Look forward to your comments
 
Welcome to the forum, glad you have had the opportunity to have a local mentor.
I hope Vortigen has a lot of bullets because on a quick search:
