Hello,

I am interested in obtaining an electrical qualification, will be from scratch. Can anyone suggest an ideal starters course? I live within the Bournemouth/Poole area.

Many thanks
Peter
 
Stuart is right your best bet is to get an apprenticeship with someone. Try JTL they are in contract with a number of employers and ring around local emploers. However you may have difficulties if you are over 19

Depends really, Poole and Bournemouth college do electrical courses which you could do in the evening and will take a couple of years. If you just wanted to do a domestic installer course then there are plenty to choose from, Southampton have ATL which will offer short courses and could see you qualified to work within domestic installations within 6 - 12 months but cost a lot and there is a suggestion that you will need more qualifications to become a qualified supervisor making the only option a college course.

My advice would be to go to college and find work as an electricians mate and learn the trade that way which is great if you have a family friend to help you out. study and pass your City and guilds 17th edition exam (2382) I took a domestic installer course as it is my hobby and a sideline for me, I intend to start at college and complete my 2330 and later my NVQ. I have learnt that this industry can become very expensive with courses and people who sell you things that you don't really need. Taking the exams at college is by far the cheapest option. There are loads of great threads on this forum of how to start etc...Good luck.

Bournemouth & Poole college won't let you do the 17th edition unless you've done the main course (2330 at the moment) and they'll ask to see certificates.
Best thing to do is call the electrical office (01202) 205643 and speak to Lynne Cobb who deals with admissions.
