Training in Edinburgh

[craig51]

Hi all, after 7 years in the financial industry, its time for a change.

I have been going through google, and asking on diynot etc, but seem to have hit a brick wall.

I live in Edinburgh, have a car so can travel anywhere in the central belt to learn.

So far, i have seen the course from OLCI, and its seems to provide all I need. But, does anyone know of any other courses or centres in Scotland that also offer the full course, to turn the layman into a fully qualified domestic installer??

I just cant seem to find any! Part time course would be better, or 'cram' courses etc, but dont think i could do a full-time long term course ie all day everyday for a year.

Hi there i have the exact same problem i live just outside Glasgow. If you read the other threads OLCI does not seem to get a good write up although if you go through them they will send you to Livingston for your practicals follow the link Nationwide Training Services I dont know if this centre provides the training you are looking for without going through OLCI. There is also Fi Electrical Training - Welcome based in Hamilton you could try them. Let me know how you get on

Ive been in contact with both breifly just to enquire on the phone im still waiting on someone from Nationwide Training Services phoning me back from 3 months ago and the one in Hamilton i think more suits me but need to look into what qualifications you exactly get.
