Your best bet is to get a day or two with a electrician ( for free ) and see if this is the job for you , as you may find that you have a more rose tinted view of the job than you first thought !
If it is still the way you want to go then i suggest you first get yourself a job in the industry while you carry on your course , and only then drop out of it to pursue the 2330 .
That way you have not chucked in a opportunity to gain a degree for possibly """" all !
As for getting these micky mouse (half day or the like) qualifications you can keep them !
As i stated last week on a thread , i have never been asked for a job by anyone who has taken one of these courses , but i think if i was given the choice between a man straight off the street with no experience but willing to go on a proper learning based course and one that already had these scraps of paper and no experience , i would only be looking at the one that will be learning the correct way and building their knowledge and experience hand in hand !
This is obviously only my personal view , but as some one that has given between 20 - 30 or more a start or leg up in the industry i do speak from experience !
Remember experience can not be brought and is the only true qualification that can be relied on in the end !
