Slightly off topic I know but, how did you go down the "maintenance route"? Did you do the 2330 (236 1 & 2), then complete the maintenance units, or, did you do the "electrical maintenance" course...out right??? I only ask because when I did the 2330, the tutor said we would cover some of the maintenance units (motors, PF corrections etc) but would need to go down a different route to become qualified as a maintenance spark!!! I ask this because I would really like to consider this as my next career move. Now, Im not saying its that easy.....but I am willing to take the nessacery steps to achieve my goal!
