Hi i am currently a apprentice and looking for some software that would help me with wiring as i don't get to do a lot in my first year and to practice as well, like radials/ring mains/lighting etc.

if anyone knows of anything please let me know
 
Agree with Marvo, we have some boards where I work, they have not been used for a while, I could ask if they would let them go, I.m not back at work for three weeks, I will ask on my return if you want to PM me Il let you know.

As has been said, pen and paper to draw out circuits and work out how they work. Practice boards to put it in to practice. As your skills evolve you can get lads at work to engineer faults into your practice board for you to find.
 
mamy as circuit has been sketched on the back of a beermat in the pub. that's going back to before the gestapo made it unacceptable to have a pint or 2 at lunchtime.
 
It was a flippant comment. No way did think it would get the “old guard” out of they’re slumbers.

To the OP, on the job a pencil and paper is the thing.

Fold the paper up, you can stop an 800A ELCB tripping. Paper works wonders!

The 1st year is all about getting to understand the basic's!! Plenty of time to get to actually install stuff. As been stated, get used to drawing things out on paper, more importantly understanding what you're drawing. Don't try and be too clever by running before you have learned to walk correctly, because you'll do yourself no favours in the long run!!

Never a truer word.

Can’t add any more to that!

During my apprenticeship in engineering, the gaffer designed things on the backs of the envelopes that the leccy and gas bills came in - and other envelopes & scrap paper with his gold Parker fountain pen with the broken nib.

In the 8 years I worked for him I never saw him use a piece of "proper" paper.

How's about that for recycling??!!
