Hello,
I am currently army employed electrician, I have the following quals:
2382
2330 lvl 2 + 3
2360
2394
Aiming to get 2395 soon. I have a fair bit of experience and about to get a lot more in the following 18month. However hopefully there are some ex army that can help out with how to take all this into the civilian world. I have no immediate plans on leaving but at the end of the day leaving is inevitable so it's basically me trying to gather as much information as possible for the future. With probably having a decent resettlement package when it comes to leaving is there any advice from anyone on what courses I should be aiming for?
Ultimately I enjoy the inspection and testing side of electrical work, however I have no idea if this relates to a decent career (money wise) is that even a route you can follow full time? and is it worth it?
I hear from many people that it's pretty hard to get a foot in the door so to speak when leaving the forces into electrical jobs, I am sure that my quals don't stand up to many people going through the traditional apprenticeship route, but I am really confident in my theory and not a million miles away from practical (just not house bashing)
Anyway, this could maybe be a thread for people like me on people that have been in this position to give their opinions, stories and advice hopefully.
Thanks.
