Hi, any help would be grateful. I grew up in Australia and started an electrical apprenticeship over there, after 3 years in the trade with a sole trader (including 2 years of day release at college) I foolishly left the industry due to turning professional in a sport. I now wish to re enter the trade. What is the best option? I still have all my old results from college however they are 10 year old now, I gained loads of experience with my employer and im very competent in terms of the practical side of things, i could easily wire a house/factory etc from the ground up. Are these companies like OLCI worth using just to get my ticket? any help would be appreciated. Ryan
 
Basically start again you say you can easily wire a house but then again a lot of people say the same you need qualifications and experience in a saturated trade best of luck
