New trainee. Is 4 month training realistic to get qualified?

[Dominik Zajecki]

Hi All
My name is Dominik I have decided to change my career from security manager to qualified electrician. I will be starting my training on 12.08.17 I've been told by the Access trining centre that I should finish the course by December And I couls start looking for job as a electrician improver/mate. Is the time frame realistic ?

A mate maybe bur an Electrician never in a month of Sundays, think you have been had over Dom.

 

[telectrix]

nope.all you'lllearn is the basics. good enough to get a job as a mate, butto be qualified you need core quals (c&g 2365), AM2 and NVQ3. coupled with at least 2 years practical experience.

What qualifications have they said you will receive after this 4 month course?

Don't you just feel great ?, Think of all the extra money you could've earned in that time.
I know it gives me a warm feeling

Thing is, after a few months and course complete, he won't be qualified, and won't be able to get a job, and will be a good few grand out of pocket, and will have to start all over again. You are definitely best off.

I feel sorry for the poor buggers who buy these courses with good intentions.

Dominik, that will give you something that an employer may give you a chance and a job as a mate. As has been said 3 years as a mate will allow you to join the dots of all the theory that went in but couldn't be deciphered to real life. As long as you go into it knowing this then you'll be ok, if you don't then you'll crash and burn and be in debt. All the best

This is the prospectus of the training I will receive during that time.

[telectrix]

condense 4 years into 4 months. is the course run by harry potter?

 

[Bob Geldoff1234]

I cannot see any C&G qualifications in that lot.About as much use as a chocolate teapot.

 

[Pete999]

Dom I feel for you, honestly but these con merchants should be exposed.

 

[gutterball]

well, part P is a building regulation, not an electrical course. and as for carrying out PIR's (EICR) there is no way you will have the experience. It takes years of accumulated knowledge and understanding of previous editions of the regs to be competent to properly do EICR's.

Do not hand any money over. What a ridiculous waste of time that would be. Do it the right way and take the time to learn. It might one day save your life

 

[telectrix]

and the proper quals can be done at night school, usually 2 evenings a week,

 

[Andy78]

If you can get a refund on that course I would do it. You would be best off putting the money towards a proper course to get you properly educated and fully qualified.

 

[Dominik Zajecki]

The cours is going to cost me £3850
The cours provider is Access training academies. And its aproved by C&G. I have been to the centre and it looks trustworthy.

What qualifications will you have at the end?
