Hi

working off shore as an HVAC Tech (2 on and 2 off) and wanting to get qualified as an electrician so i could do more jobs related to our work. wondering on how to go about it. tried contacting colleges but getting nowhere. was wanting to try and do the C&G 2330 but i hear this one is finishing. is there a way to do distance learning, i had one centre that told me they could do an intensive course in a week for 20K for a class of up to 20, but my company didnt want to pay that lol. so was looking to do self study then sit the tests. company putting us through compex at least.
thanks

Thanks Lenny, seen that link and has the retraining as an adult route on the C&G2357. would like to do the first 9 knowledge units but dont know where to start. emailed quickstart to see what they can do for me. canr really attend college as im away for two weeks at a time, so hopefully there is a distance lerning way.

Judging by what ive seen start at the 301 then go through each unit until you get to 309 because everything after that requires you to have a job
