Quote ...On pratical week stick with what you learned from the book, and never be afraid to confrot your teacher from what you have learned and what he tells you.
That just about sum's up these courses, and with what's WRONG with the way so-called electricians are being taught the trade these day's !!
I have some very sad news for you Sparky BH, ...there is no way on this earth that you can ''learn'' the practical side of this industry from reading about it, out of a book a book. There is but one way, and that's being shown by an experienced qualified electrician. So if you haven't had any real world outside experience with such animal, expect at least another couple of years re-learning what you gained from books working with a an experienced electrician...
These courses are great at getting students through exams, what they don't and can't teach you are the intricacies of the trade. Often skirting round many of the aspects of this industry on the argument, ''you won't or will never see this in your working life'' It ain't so, ...because You Will at some point!!
