Newbie - in need of some help

[Paresh]

everyone,

Im Paresh from London, came across this site while i was looking for a electrical apprenticeship. Need some information on how to go about it.

I am 24, and graduated in Business but really do not like the industry and having grown up in a family of electricians wanted to trade over to become one.

can anyone offer any advice?

thanks

Get the NIC-EIC roll of registered contractors for your area and send your C.V to every single one,
Contact your local training centres and be persistant.

anyone in the family that could offer you a start? just wondered with you saying you grew up in a family of electricians. good luck with the job hunting mate

That's the idea. I can get experience, it's more about the qualifications.

Get on a 2330 City & Guilds course. Complete that and your half way there.

if your ok for the experience you can sign up for the 2357 at your local tech college for september, although the course is not finalised yet it will give you the nvq side and the tech side of the qualifications
