Please need some advice "IMPORTANT"!!!

[Ridiki]

Hi everyone, I'm new and need some advice please....I decided to become an electrition but don't know if it's worth it...I want to take this courses: C&G L3 Electrical Installation 2391-10, PAT-testing 2377-12 & 2377-11, 17th Edition wiring regulations 2382 and Solar PV, as u already know they expensive I can afford it but I wanna know what are my chances to get a job with this Qualifications?
(I live in East Sussex) And do u have to have some kind Card (like JIB Card or something) or specific any other qualification to apply for a job?
Any information helpful, thank you

Those courses are spot on my friend but please say your doing them in a college and not some over priced 5 week wonder center? College is the best route imo.

as said above by paul
-wouldnt say pat testing is needed and you should look into the 2356 or 2357
honestly if you do get these qualifications and go on site you wont know what to do unless you have experience behind you.

Unfortunately those qualifications alone won't get you a job, the vast majority of employers (well, all really) want someone who can do the job they're employed to do and that means someone with experience, unless you can get someone to employ you as an apprentice/helper in which case they will help.
Be warned though that there are plenty of other people doing these same courses and trying for the same jobs.

i dont want to sound out of place but i have been a qualified approved sparky for five years and been in trade for nearly ten i still learning this trade. i went and did lots of courses more than i need but did them all at college the people that say you will be spark in ten weeks or so well if you want to burn the money that upto you.

if i was you id first get some experience try the trade see if it is for you dont just look at it and think yes electrician sounds good you need to become electrician mate get a year experience then head to college i had five kids and a nagging wife and had to work but you have to make time if you want the end result qualifications and experience.

best of luck mate
