    Level 2 nearly over... Looking for advice on work experience

    The ECS card is the best safety card to acquire in your quest to become an electrician. The ECS safety exam covers safe isolation and other electrical aspects and will be more specific to the work we carry out. The CSCS card does not cover electrical aspects and that reflects on the employment...

    Why would my shower have 2 supplies

    My post was supposed to quote the OPs post #13 below Like I said earlier in thread, I will take a look as anyone would in this situation. Let's be honest technically any domestic electrical work or commercial for that matter isn't really that difficult. Working out what others have done in the...

    Why would my shower have 2 supplies

    I would have to disagree here as (technically) our trade has to be one of the hardest trades to understand and learn. Designing a specific electrical circuit requires a lot of knowledge to be done properly. Working in a commercial environment on site we have everything designed for us and work...

    Update of the past apprenticeship quest.

    One of the problems i see here is that you have no electrical qualifications, your profile has no qualifications listed so i will take it you have none or are not studying any. You will almost certainly get no joy if you are not studying the required qualifications to work towards becoming an...

    Should garage have secondary consumer unit? + Best way to extend power from garage to shed?

    Haggis you seem to have given to much away here as no qualified electrician will attach an swa cable to the back of an existing socket in the shed. You have stated you have rewired your own houses before so the post stinks of you doing a DIY jobby on this and i dont think anyone will advise...

    Wiring in insulated stud wall

    May i suggest that before the "Radial" is extended it is tested to ensure that it will be sufficient to take the new load you intend to place on it. And BCO are not electricians. The purpose of the DIY section is to try and advise people of basic jobs and this is a bit more than basic.

    Test and inspection how long?

    This sounds like a typical get in get out and on to the next job testing company who are only interested in the amount of jobs you get done to earn them money. Personally i wouldn't worry about being the slowest tester on the firm because at least you can walk away knowing you have been thorough...

    RIP Eric Bristow. Treble 20.

    Legend in his day unbeatable. I still have a set of his branded tungsten 21 gramme darts mass produced in the 80's and I thought they were crap but looking back I think it was the person throwing them that was crap.

    Newbie pricing help please.

    Fitzy dont take this the wrong way but looking at your profile you are not a newly qualified sparky and you may want to think about your profile title. This thread has gone a bit of topic as you wanted advice on pricing a job but you have to respect the fact that qualified sparks on here have...

    Confined spaces experience

    An old saying is there is no harm in another string to the bow but confined space entry certification is only useful in very specialised industries and may not appeal to anyone in the lets say domestic sector. My advice is if its free then do it and do any courses that you can get or get offered.

    Struggling to get practical Experience

    It is hard to get a start but they do come along eventually. Try all the electrical wholesalers in the area you are prepared to travel to and ask nicely to place a small advert in them, explain to them you are struggling to get a start and they will probably oblige. Be brief on the ad dont make...
