Hi there,
sorry for this but i just feel the need to get this out! This site is full of people who think they are capable of doing their own electrics in their own homes, a lot of it is basic and some of it is quite excessive, but they are here to learn and not make the mistakes that obviously some idiots make, this is because of the kind and free advice that you professional electricians give, so many thanks for all the advice.
However, why is it so frowned upon when elder people come on here asking for advice on which is the best route to become a electrician, these people are stating that they are willing to attend the relevant courses, get the necessary qualifications and learn from any experience that they can get, but this is looked upon as the wrong thing to do, it seems that if you are not young enough to become an apprentice then sorry, the electrician door is closed. personally i think that if elder people are willing to go to college, get the qualifications, they are not just some kind of idiot that will start testing a live circuit with their tounge, they are willing to learn and hoping to be able to achieve a living out of working as an electrician.
Ill not go as far as saying industrial or commercial electrics will easily be able to do but for domestic work?? is it really that difficult?? my opinion is that if you have all the necessary qualifications, 2381, 2391, part P then you will be on the way to learning a new trade, there will still be things that you learn on the job, but surely this is what you electricians done?? give people a break, or is it because more people qualified to do the job means less work for everyone else?
Sorry but just had to say it and look forward to responses from full "electricians" as well as people trying to find their way into it.
Cheers
