Hey guys,
after constantly annoying every tutor on my course to the point of them wanting to kill me i finally got the
head of electrical in today to speak to our class about the route we have to take to get to our destination.
so fair play to her she put it all out there and this is what we got(see attached photos) so i am now under
the impression this is my correct path:-

2365 level 2>
domestic installer level 3>
inspection and testing>
17th edition>
esc card(optional)
start work!!

any feedback is massively appreciated.
thanks

No. 2365 level 2&3,nvq 3 which would include am2 and portfolio and 2 years experience to gain an ecs/jib card at an electricians grade.

If you don't want to be an electrician then any of these courses are a waste of time.

No such thing as a domestic installer as far as electrical installation work goes, you're either an electrician or not.
The whole concept of a domestic installer is something which has grown up from training companies making a fast buck selling the dream of making lots of money as a 'domestic installer' by doing a few short courses and magically becoming qualified. These people are becoming a real menace as they are working in people's homes under the mistaken impression that they know what they are doing and in actual fact are putting people's lives and property in danger.

The only way to learn this practical, technical trade is to learn the theory in college and the practical by working with an experienced tradesman for a few years.

The regulations make no distinction between domestic and non domestic work, the basic theory applies to all, it's only the practical which changes

Amen to that

im not saying the courses are a waste of time but if im going on the wrong courses for what i want to do then it would
appear to be a waste of time in my eyes yes, the head of electrical in our college has given us this table for different paths so is she right or wrong, if wrong why is she wrong? i dont quite get if im just getting sarcasm or serious answers either?!
thought the training bit was somewhere newbies could get help?!

im not looking for a quick qualification, im allready doing 2365 level 2 and after i was going to do 2365 level 3 but now this lady who is meant to be an expert is telling our class that if you only want to work on domestic(230v and under) than you go to college to do domestic installer level 3 instead and then do your inspection and testing and 17th edition before you are fully qualified to do your own work aswell as sign it off.
thank you for a constructive reply
