    I have some experience in the building game, over the years I have worked on many sites doing one thing or another. I just wish they had told us that 1- you need some electrical knowledge to do the course and 2- that the qualifications gained are just the basics to start you off. I could of then...

    Thanks for the advise, yes I do feel like I was ripped off, yes I do feel a plank!  I cant give up on this yet, I only want to work on small domestic jobs, nothing outside this. I agree the only way to learn to be an electrician is through an apprenticeship.  I shall continue to try to learn...

    Hi, I am new to the forum. I done one of those 4 week electrical courses last year, I asked the qustion whilst booking, do you need any experience as I have none at all? They told me you didn’t as it was for complete novices and beginners. So I take the course, qualified Part P, 17th Edition...
