A little bit about me; I'm 22 years old and have an NVQ Level 3 17th edition. I went into an apprenticeship straight after school at the age of 16. After 3 years I am now qualified with an aditional 3 years experience. I'm now starting to think about my future and I want to explore what choices I have as an electrician.

Im looking for information/advice on what I can do to further myself. Such as aditional qualifications, and how to work my way up the ladder to become supervisor and so on. What experience do I need?
Also what are the specialized fields that an electrician can get into? I know I could go in solor panels or fire alarm systems, things like that. But I enjoy all the techinal parts, so I was thinking maybe design? But I dont know where I should begin.
I still love all the hands on and practical parts of an electrican. Is there maybe any fields that allow for that, plus more specialized techinal work?

I'm really just hoping to get some advice from some more experinced electricians on how I can improve and make more of myself as an electrican.

Any information/adivice would be much apreciated.
 
Inspection and testing certs would be a good place to start city and guilds 2394/2395, then maybe your city and guilds 2396 and/or HNC in electrical and electronic engineering.
