I Need Work A helping hand, Manchester/South MCR

[telectrix]

bear in mind that a lot of my work is small jobs.... faults and maybe extra sockets, some testing, with the occasional partial rewire/replacement CU; alarms are my fav. work. i don't work full time any more... too much weasr and tear on the knees, and the pubs open at 12.

Haha brilliant! Experience is experience no matter how small, have to start somewhere and I'm more than happy getting under the floorboards with the creepy crawlies! Plus, with two people you could easily make the pub for 11

Definitely is mate! - giving it 110%. Currently half way through level 3 and have my 18th booked in for next month. All systems go! Just missing the experience which is the most difficult part. Absolutely loved everything to do with the theory though and where I've managed to get out with a spark I've loved that too.
Many thanks for the response!

Good luck with the 18th edition, I completed mine last month. i must say, Sparky Ninja really helped me out. I focused mainly on part 4 and part 5, which as you already know is nearly 50% of the exam.

When you're after experience, you adopt the TESCO mantra; Every Little Helps. I'd take what I can get ?

So I've just got back from a work meeting essentially making me redundant from my current role (not related to electrical).

I was trying to get level 2 and level 3 2365 done in the evenings to get the theory behind me and give me a better chance of working alongside an electrician to get the practical skills needed for a complete career change. Now being made redundant has put a huge risk on being able to afford college to complete the level 3 qualification.

If anyone out there knows of any electricians or electrical firms in need of a really hard grafter, who's just after a chance to prove themselves then let me know.

Many thanks in advance.
