I've been thinking about re-training so i can earn some extra money and also with a view to eventually giving up my day job and trying to make it as an electrician.
I've been researching on the net and have spoken to a few training companies:
www.electricaltraining4u.co.uk
www.olci.info
and www.tradeskills4u.co.uk
but am confused as when i speak to these companies they seam to know what they are talking about but are obviously trying to sell me a course.
The way i see it there are 2 options
1. Domestic installer... 2392-10, 17th edition and Part P http://www.tradeskills4u.co.uk/courses/17-day-electrical-multi-course
2. Fully qualified ie. 2330 (college) or through OLCI http://www.olci.info/electrical-training-courses.html
City & Guilds Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment (Buildings, Structures and the Environment) (2357)
Domestic installer would appear to be the quicker route but how much work would i get???
Going fully qualified will take longer and cost more, £5500 to £8000 depending on trainer but as far as i can make out i would still need to do 17th edition and Part P (another £1000 aprox on top)
I'm very confused ca anyone point me in the right direction please??
Thanks.
