what qualifications do i need to be a fully qualified electrician

[chazkelly1985]

hi guys been reading the forumfora while and thought i would ask this

im 25 and a keen DIYer however a few months back i was released from my tech support job (jobs relocateed to india)

so im thinking about retraining as a sparky

i was thinking about doing the olci course and was hoping someone here could tell me what qualifications i would need to call myself an electrician

i know i would be as skilled as a fully time served sparky but this way it should give me a way into this type of work thanks guys

youll also need to pass the AM2 assessment. BUt to do this you do not have to have NVQ you can just use experience, but will need 2391 and 2382 and a lot of experience and knowledge
