Hi All
Basically, like many others, i'm looking for advice. I'm 25, soon to be 26 and would like a career as an electrician. I've been reading the various threads but its seems somewhat confusing and I'm not sure where I should be looking to start.
As I understand, experience is what counts. However, being the age that I am (25/26), would this immediately put me at a disadvantage for an apprenticeship? I have read about people suggesting to buy a '17th edition' book and to take the test rather than paying for a beginners course, is it worth it? I'm against doing any sort of online course really, but needs must if that is what I am recommended.
The only official 'experience' I have is that I studied Electronics at GCSE level gaining an A grade.
If someone could point me in the right direction of where to start, it would be much appreciated. I was hoping to find a guidance thread but I'm not having much luck.
Thanks
Dom
