Now what?

[Housey]

Hi, I've just recently completed my level 3 C&G 2330 qual. Im almost 20 and have been unsuccessful as of now to get an apprenticeship. So now my question stands, where do I go from here?

thanks

what methods have you mind to find an apprenticeship?

whats your location?

I've seen a few posts for apprentices around, but without knowing your location, wouldn't know what info could be of use..

Ummm dont mean to point out the obvious but you have the full 2330 now. You dont need to be an apprentice, get your 17th edition, 2391 and 2392 and nvq level 3 and start working.

having the full 2330 and no experience doesnt make for a very good electrician

Of course not, thats not what i meant. I mean that when you have the full 2330 there is no need to become a apprentice.

i know a few people that have done the full 2330 but have no practical experience who i wouldnt even let them wash my van

if the op is 20 with no real experience then the 2330 wont help him on site in real life situations and being someones apprentice would definitely be the way forward imho

I currently live in weymouth, dorset. I am aware that I need experiance but there are very few jobs down here and the only ones I can find require you to be fully experianced with an NVQ3.

Is there any way of gaining an NVQ if I cannot get an apprenticeship? Could I gain xp and jump onto an AM2 exam?

a mate/improver role would suit you better while you gain the rest of your quals and easier to come by than an apprentiship
