As the title says, what's the best way of doing this?
I got a good set of GCSES (2A*s, 10As and 2Bs) however I do not think that I will be able to go to uni. Instead learning a trade is a more likely option. I have decided to go to being an electrician and will probably apply for something...
Evening all,
Just about to do my 18th edition and was wondering what the going rate for a on the cards newly qualified electrician in Kent is? I have 5 year prior experience, Level 3 Electrical installation, NVQ Level 3 and AM2.
TIA.
Food for thought
The Freddo theory
In 1999 minimum wage was £3.60/hour and a freddo was 5p
This means you could buy 72 freddos with an hours wage
Now minimum wage is £7.50/hour yet freddo's are 25p , meaning you can only buy 30 freddo's with an hours wage
For the continuum of freddo...
Alright guys, I just wanted to know what you would pay me if I were working for you. Been working 4-5 years doing general electrics. House bashing, fire alarm systems, data cables, antennas, etc. Can safely say I can rewire a house on my own; ringmains, lighting, kitchens, outside lighting, SWA...
Started my 2357 last year and my employer is continuing to pay me apprentice rate. I have been on site for about 2 and a half years, have my own vehicle, 17th off of my own back and do jobs without supervision, how do you think i should bring this up? Not like i want a pay rise i just want nmw...
When the NMW was introduced the cry from the tories was that it would cost jobs, this has been proven to be pretty much nonsense. Now that there's a call for it to be raised to a living level the same cry is being heard from the same people.
Now we all know that "everyone who claims a benefit is...
Hello chaps,
Just want to gather some opinions with regard to a trainee wage. I've done 3 years at night school doing the 2330 and was offered the chance to do my Nvq with a company and was a bit disappointed with what they were willing to pay me. Im 22 with a mortgage, so unfortunately cant...
I've recently been offered an electrical apprenticeship. However I received my contract in the post today and I saw that my wage is going to be £2.65. I'm 19 years of age and have rent, car insurance etc to pay for so I was wondering am I expecting too much? Or as I'm thinking is this not...

Just been on the DirectGov website there, and I find the NMW disgusting! The thought that an apprentice can be paid £2.60ph (the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship) is shocking. That means that if they're working a 40 hour week...
Hi I just wanna know where I stand with my wages. I have recently become an approved spark.My company is a member of the JIB and have told me that due to the current climate I will not be getting the rate, despite having 8 sparks on that rate and recently taking on an approved spark giving them...
