Hi Guys, its been a while since i posted on the forum but the plan to start my electricians course is still on,

I want to be a domestic electrician and from what i read online it looks like the NVQ2357 isnt the way to go.

Are there any electricians on here who are domestic only, ? what course do i need to complete to get started, and what are the cost involved ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated

If you're working in the trade you need the C&G 2357.

If you're not working in the trade you need the C&G 2365, followed by the NVQ modules of the 2357 when you do start working in the trade.

Those are the two routes to becoming an electrician.
 
Thats exactly why i'm asking here, i don't want to pay out for a micky mouse qualification [emoji53]

An electricians trade is both practical and technical. The only way to learn practical skills is by working alongside someone who already has those skills and can guide you through the process of learning them. The technical side of things is best learned in a classroom environment with the backup of working alongside someone who already has the knowledge and learning how it is applied in the real world.

coupled with the ability to make a decent brew, and drink copious amounts of beer after work.

Just sit back and think about it for a minute or two. Do you honestly really expect to be suitably qualified and competent to carry out electrical work in somebodies home after just 5 weeks???

NO, so don't be conned by this high cost training centres that will only tell you what you want to hear. You have been told of the two correct paths to take. There is NO such thing as a quick path to becoming an electrician, anyone that tells you any different, are those after taking money off you under false pretences!!
 
Thanks guys, i'm back to where i first started, i looked at the C&G2357 and that seems to be the way to go.

I've found a local course that does the level 2 and 3 but does ÂŁ1495+ vat per level seem like a good price to pay ?

sounds good compared to the rip-off short courses. is this through a college?
