Apprenticeship vs Electrical Improver

[Joe O'leary]

Hi, this year I'm finishing my level 3 electrical course at college which I started from level 1, I want to work as a electrical improver but I'm told its better to look for an apprenticeship. My end goal is to become a fully qualified Electrician. What do people do recommend I do?

Apprenticeship is the way. company's get a tax rebate for each apprentice they employ , plus you get your training paid for (AM2 ,2391 etc)

if you can't get an apprenticeship, improver will at least get you in the trade and learning hands on skills.

yes I agree any experience is better than none, and get the extra qualification's when you can afford them
