Wow and I thought it would be a good idea to try and gain some knowledge on here, guess I was wrong, cant help being a 'pen pusher' if no one will let me observe them practically, I wont give up trying, just hope I dont deal with many more people like you lot, definitely know how to take the...

Enough mate

Fair point, I wasn't aware of that but I knew a job and good money wasnt going to come my way unless I was willing to work for it and regarding the qualifications I know they are the basics but it at least gets me one foot on the ladder. I feel like we have gone off topic slightly and would just...

I know under part P this work would be notifiable and no I am not planning to do this work myself, although I would like to, for my own benefit I just want to know how it would be done, I did have a fair idea from scanning these forums and I dont think I'm far off, but regards to the earthing do...

Yes I know my cable calcs and in my opinion 2.5mm swa would be fine, maybe 4mm in case things are added at a later date but I would have to talk to my friend and clarify what he actually wants to power in the shed. I have only been taught one way of doing a garden shed supply which was from the...

considering lots of people have been successful off this course and are making a living from it and the course itself being backed by the prime minister I think I'll stick with it, not asking people for opinions on what I'm doing, would just appreciate someone who I could learn from.

ok so what size should the swa cable be? then once terminated into the metal clad socket in the shed would the next socket be linked by conduit? and what size should the cable be for the lighting and heater? 

The run is no more than 20 metres and would you still have a mini CU in the shed? 2 MCB's for the lighting and power which are then RCD protected?

Thanks for quick response, basically I'm 24 and started this course with a company called NCS (New Career Skills) It is an 18 month course and the qualifications I gain at the end of it are City and Guilds 2377 & 2382 Level 3 and City and Guilds 2392 Level 2. I am due to finish the course at...

Hi, basically a friend of mine wants power to his shed, I think he wants a 2 lights, 2 double sockets and maybe a heater for the winter. His CU is very confusing to a novice like me but from what I can see he has the old fuseboard setup with an Ib of 60A then recently he got a new kitchen...

Hi my name is Sam, am currently doing an electrician course but am now at the stage where I would benefit from working with an experienced electrician to show me the skills needed to become competent and make a career from. Am more than willing to work unpaid and anyone that can let me shadow...
