Domestic Electrician

[rugbylad]

Does anyone think it would be worthwhile me doin a domestic installers course and setting up on my own as a domestic installer including PAT testing etc...

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Rugbylad already has 7 years experience....god knows what he thinks he is going to get out of that 48 day course for his 7K.

The mind boggles.

I dont think I am picking you up here show what ?

You can learn a lot of it for free. I agree, and applaud this sentiment of self discipline. This is the sort of thing a person should do when they are on a course of accreditation to supplement guided learning. Or if they have a particular interest in a subject. My question was 'how does a person demonstrate, or prove, a level of training or competence?' Surely accreditation of some sorts is necessary?

Go to work, get paid, go home. LIVE.

I totally agree, I can't understand why so many people are wanting to set up on their own. I don't think they understand the money and time it takes to run your own business. It kills me to go and work on site for a ten hours a day nevermind coming home and invoicing, chasing money, inputting test sheets! It scares me to think what it must be like for a contractor to find work for and pay lets say a 100 electricians a week plus support staff. That's why I leave that upto them and do as VoltzElectrical would do and turn up to work and get paid every week!
