Recently signed up for a Domestic Electrical Installer course, need help.

[jangb2000]

Hello,

I'm 19 and recently signed up for a domestic electrical installer course and like an idiot I haven't really researched it that well beforehand which I know I should have. My dad is an electrician in Germany and he seemed pretty happy with it so I just went for it. My question is essentially after this course will I be able to find work with the qualifications I will have gained, and they are:

• City & Guilds 2392
• City & Guilds 2382
• Part P Defined Scope
• There is also mention of City & Guilds 2393 in the book but not in the brochure and it is under the "Part P" part of the book so not sure if it has anything to do with that?

Thanks anyone in advance and if the thread is in a wrong part of the forum I'd like to apologise wasn't sure where to create this thanks.

I'm 32 and on a Level 2 jangb2000 and would recommend it and go from there; from level to, to level 3, then your I&T and PAT additional courses, then the NVQ and AM2. At your age, you would likely benefit from the electrotechnical apprenticeship program

Whichever route you take, join the Trainees section, there's some good content there that might help, the mentors are ok too ?

Why waste time and Money doing the PAT course? a waste of time, as you don't need to be qualified to do PAT get hold of the CoP for ISITEE and study it

Whilst I agree you don't strictly need the course, it may well be useful to him. I've seen people performing ISITEE on several occasions where they have gaps in their knowledge. Things like testing figure 8 mains leads for instance, where they obviously don't realise that the Tester connects line and neutral together. And many more as they say.

Indeed, and so they need training.

Nah just read the CoP

around £2000 it's £180 a month

I think you have been misled, the full course is £7800, you have been given £2000 worth of training due credit issues, total scammers

I'm a bit confused as to what this course is actually offering. At 19 you might as well go to college you get 2365 (2/3) free I think

Ideally you want 2365 (2/3) but it seems you still have to do this after the course you just paid for? How much was it out of interest?
