I started sparking at 17 in London. Got JIB graded and did nothing exam wise since then. When I was 60 ish I had to go and get level 2/3 and a portfolio and 2391 all of which meant about 20 exams practical and written (literally for the 2391) I am still working at 68 albeit not as I did like 12 hour days and spanging through jobs. So... if I was 55 yeah I would do it. I llike the work and it keeps the blood pumping and joints working I am fine with it.
As to training, NAPIT and all the other schemes require AM2 now as well as level 2 and 3 NVQ which is quite a course. I understand NAPIT do an entry course to the trade. Also Morris services in Kingswood Bristol are excellent trainers. They have a place in Bristol. Which were you to be based or able to work in Bristol I could also help with work here and there. So I say go for it.
