Starting out

[cwjohnstone]

Hi,

I'm looking at changing career and have been wanting to retrain as a sparky for a while. Gonna do the part P courses on my rest days and just start off on domestic work on my days off, I work a 4 on 4 off shift so ideal for work on the side. I would like to one day become a fully qualified spark and work for myself if it takes off but where do I start please??? I've grasped the concept regarding domestic work but what do I need for commercial / industrial?? I've seen so many training providers offering so many c&g courses and nvq courses and this one is being replaced by this newer one etc etc I couldn't tell my a**e from my elbow when trying to work out what to do!!!! So PLEASE let's have it, gimme everything you got and don't hold back:tt1: many thanks

Chris

To become a fully qualified spark you need go to college and if possible find some work with an existing spark or firm.

No, none whatsoever :-/

Someone is setting you up for an almighty fall... The part p training provider.
Keep your money in your pocket, search the forum... Working on domestics properties on your days off is at least 3 years hard graft away from where you are now.

Commercial & industrial, you will need to serve your time in this environment.

Good luck
