The NVQ is the evidence of your practical knowledge.

The theory side is a different qualification.

I don't think you've got much of a chance Tomas. I've got friends who have been to college and got their C&G 2330 levels 2/3 and still can't get employment in the industry. Like others have already said use your degree in some way.....

From what I have read on this forum, Tomas and his mate can watch a few videos and read some DIY electrical work books and then set themselves up as self-employed electricians. So long as they keep to simple work like changing bulbs at £90 a pop (no VAT) and wiring up the odd extension at £200 a day, they will be fine. If they come across anything tricky like putting in a sub-board for a detached garage, they can always ask on here for advice.

To be honest whilst training in the UK you'll either be working at McDonalds, Starbucks, Pret or Costa Coffee as you will have to cover living costs, if you are heading to London then you are in for a shock. Se if you can get on to the maintenance side of things but then again since Carillion has folded there will be a lot of people chasing jobs.

any foreign worker who wants to work in this country ,needs to have a licence to work , like they do in Australia, because if they electrocute some body in this country,
they can easily slip back to the country where they come from and sod our laws .

Or go to Poland as most of their electricians and plumbers are in the UK ;o))))))

Ha Buzzlightyear.
Just to let you know,Us older Linesmen were all fully qualified ,apprentice trained electricians,before we went on to industrial training to be Linesmen,Cable Jointers or Sub Station Fitters.Dont think all DNO craftsmen take three months to get trained up.
