Hi to anybody reading...At the age of 31 i have decided that i would like to retrain to become a fully qualified electrician and i am seeking some advice on the best possible route for me to take.
My question is...Would i be better off biting the bullet and trying to get an apprenticeship?
or
Would it be worth me completing an electrical course and then trying to get a job as a mate or an improver and getting fully qualified this way?
The course i am looking at is 16 weeks long with trade skills for you and on completion would give me a c&g 2365 level 2 and 3 full diploma.
If it makes any difference my background is 4 years experience as a general dogs body for a building firm followed by 5 years in the royal navy as a marine engineering technician and more recently i have spent the past 4 years contracting as a health and safety technician for bae systems (as and when they need me)
Any advice is greatly appreciated
