Hi Rob and welcome

Hi & welcome Phil

Move back to Essex mate, Cambridge/East Anglia is so undermanned with Sparkies, I don't have enough trainees to fill jobs that I get called about and every sparky I know tell me that they have too much work on. The female trainee I got a job for on Friday will be getting paid £10.50 an hour not...

Can I ask if this was a day release course at a college and took about 3 years? This happened regularly where people were working in desk jobs or something completely unrelated to Electrical Installations. What would generally happen is the students would forget a lot of the practical skills...

Hi & Welcome Joey!

Hi & welcome Mike You "might" be eligible for a JIB ECS "Trainee card" with those qualifications as long as you are studying on the C&G 2365/2357 qualifications. As Manator said above to obtain the JIB ECS "Electrician card" you would need to have done the Level 3 NVQ 2357 or 2356 which...

2k? Ouch! Have a look at the learning section on the forum for some online exam simulators to help with the 17th edition (2382) and the Inspection and testing courses (2394). The 2395 and 2394 are as equally as difficult, don't be put off by the qualification number. I have had some students in...

Hi Sean Regardless of whether you want to work in Domestic, Commercial or Industrial, I would advise you do the correct qualifications and not any of these courses labelled Domestic Installer or Part P course. Here are the two options for what qualifications you need; Level 3 NVQ in...

Hi & Welcome

Yes it is mate, I have something like this in the pipeline for the future, to give trainees onsite experience during their training, but to promise it to every student a placement so they can complete their NVQ I think will be a bit unrealistic... I could be wrong though and maybe a bigger...

I would love to know if this is correct, I know many Electrical Contractors but I couldn't just schedule in some new trainees with them whenever I like, again do some research and even try to ask a former student of theirs if this is the case because it just sounds like a load broken promises...

If that's the case then you'll never be a qualified Electrician and you'll stay in the same job. At some point you will have to jump ship to do the level 3 NVQ and work as an Electrical Improver, No decent contractor will employ you as an Electrician with the qualifications you have stated and...

Ok the only qualifications you need to do are; Level 2 Diploma in Electrical installations (2365) Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365) and when you are are working in the industry you need to enrol on the 2357-44 NVQ as the final qualification. Part P course/qualification is a...

Can you list the qualifications? This is important because so many people get ripped off with being sold the wrong or very poor qualifications which aren't recognised. Have you tried researching for reviews on google? This well tell you a lot about the company. It sounds like a good idea, but...

Hi and welcome

Hi and welcome Gareth I wouldn't bother with any home study Electrical course, the Electrical trade isn't something you can learn at home through a book or on a computer and you need the right support from a qualified experienced Lecturer. Look for a local college or training provider and...

Welcome Hannah

Hi Matt and welcome, if you need any tips or advice for your NVQ, give me a shout.

Hi and welcome

Ok thanks, well if you see anything wrong with the spelling again let me know where if you can, I have 2000+ questions to look through.
