Most advice on here is "dont do a 2 week wonder course" or similar.

Go down your local college and ask.

Your local college is the best place to ask about courses. Remember, once you have qualifed with your 17th edition (which can take between 6 months and 3 years, depending on how much you know already) you will then want to enrol with an electrical installer scheme, if you want to work by yourself on domestic installations.

Get down the college and ask about the city and guilds 2330 course, its likely to be over subscribed... so best get in early!
