Will work for very little as an Electricians mate to gain knowledge.

ElmoFireUp · Apr 6, 2011

I am asking around to see if anyone would be willing to take me on as an electricians mate or apprentice.

I have just started the City & Guilds 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnology Level 2 and 3 at OLCI Construction Training which is a distance learning course.

I have already paid all the course fees.

If you would be willing to set me on then I would work for very little money as it is the experience and practical knowledge that I am more interested in.

I am 28 years old and live with my Fiancee, 5 year old stepson and have another baby on the way in around 8 months.

I do have some knowledge of electrical work as I used to be a fire alarm engineer for a company called TFS.

If you could let me know if this would be of interest to you that would be great.

Cheers,
Carl.

just out of interest, how much was that course, INCLUDING all the days at the training centre?

and what will you have at the end of it, and when will you finish.

Cheers

Hi,

The total cost was £5850 which includes all exams and all the practical sessions.
You have 2 years to complete the course and then up to 5 years to complete NVQ Level 3 which is work based.

When complete I will have City & Guilds Levels 2 and 3 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology (2330), City & Guilds 2356 Level 3 NVQ Certificate, Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification (City & Guilds 2392-10), 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations, (City & Guilds 2382-10) and Solar Photovoltaic (PV) certificate.

Really good course but I really could do with getting a job with an Electrician as this will help me a great deal and give me better understanding of things.

local college would be much less than half in cost, and better training. dont know if its an option for you but thought id mention it.

well he's paid for it already. Dude, how are you gonna get that NVQ3 with this course? I'd love to know how they're doing that.

I am based in Worksop Nottinghamshire but would be happy to travel to where ever. I looked into all my local colleges but none of the courses started until September and wanted to start as soon as possible.
The NVQ Level 3 is assessed when I am working for a company. They have said that once I have completed Level 2 then they will try and find me a placement. That's one of the things that is built into the price.
Really want to get straight into the industry as soon as I can which is why I have posted this.
Cheers.
