Good evening all. Just a quick introduction , I am a 34 yr old, married father of 2, former block paver who got bored of chuckin blocks down and headed to college on level 2 , 2365. I am working 2 days a week with am electrical contractor and will begin day release and 2357 in September. Thought I'd sign into the forum for advice as I will definitely need it in the coming years. Kind regards.

Thanks all for welcoming me aboard. Lee sparky Kent, cheers mate , the apprenticeship 2357 is the only way to go if one wants to be taken seriously from my research. I'm a bit daunted by the length of time on low wages but I am committed to becoming fully qualified and decent! I am of the understanding that it'll take 4 years? Its a long road ahead and at the moment I'm working for lunch! Does anyone reckon I can sail through the 2357 any quicker? I am a fairly intense individual having ran a few marathons!

Good on you mate! Not to sure about how long the 2357 takes to complete but I'm sure some one on here will know. I noticed in your OP that you said you were a block paver maybe you could chuck some blocks down at the weekend to top the training wages up.
