as i see it, practical experience is what you need the most. go for 2382-12, but don't waste money on a part p course. part p is a building regulation which dictates which jobs need notification to your local building control. you can read the doc. on line at planning portal. the benchmark qualification is 2330, how you go about getting this is up to you. 3 years college, while working as an electricians mate/apprentice.or a fast track course
