Thanks industryspark - I will look into that too.

Thanks again Baldersj. Much obliged to you.

Thanks Baldersj. How long does all these courses last (*combined) when you say 'Pay yourself', How much did you have to pay? (if you don't mind me asking?)

Thank You very much Adam. I appreciate that!

Thanks for the reply Breeze. I read on a thread last week that they it was called an 'Electrical Engineers' Course. So it is actually called an 'Electricians' course is it. I don't believe in the 3 Month courses either. It is bad enough to try and fit everything into a 3 or 4 year...

Could you tell me how long a course in Electrical Engineering is please? I have no qualifications as a sparky at all - so i would have to start at the very begining. Are there any shorter courses? And would i have to do other courses when the main one finishes to do extras like Self...

Someone must have stretched the board with their posting. RF Lighting.... Would you mind taking a look at my last post on my other thread please?

Thanks for the info on the books, guys.

Evening all. Thank you for the replies. I had a shed built last year. I done all the wiring in the shed, sockets and two lights. I left the wires near my GE Garage fuse box (with a little spare) I buried a 3 core 6mm armoured cable, ran into the shed one end and into the kitchen the other...

Oh, I forgot to mention, Sorry, That when i phoned the sparky, he said that the electric only has to be tested when work is carried out in the bathroom or kitchen. Is that right? I am almost certain that the council said that it was for ANY electrical work that was carried out.

Thank you for that quick and helpful reply. I want to remove the old pullcord switches and replace them with 1 gang switches.

Good evening. I am having some electrical work done in my council home, by a qualified electrician (you will be pleased to hear, Lol). I vaguely remember my council saying that if i have any electrical work carried out in my home, it must be carried out by a qualified IEE electrician and a...

I have contacted a 'qualified sparky' to do the job for me as i don't know enough about electrics to do it myself. Thanks for replying. :D

I want the switch on the outside wall in the bathroom. I am not overly keen on switches in the bathroom.
