there is a large differenc between domestic/commercial/idustrical electrcal than electronics. obviously, some knowledge will over lap, but knowing electronics doesnt make you an electrician

Hi Everybody - Having done my time back in the early 80's I went off into telecoms and then sales and other stuff. Having bought a house to rennovate with some redundancy I did the wiring and was amazed at how much paperwork and regs there are now compared to 25 years ago. I thought "I can do this" so I got myself on the 238x and 239x refresher courses and Part P registered (ELECSA) and have been trading for 3+ years now as LGMI Electrical in Gloucestershire. I seem to keep busy and am picking up more commercial work now as well as the original domestic stuff (quite a few inspections and PAT testing as well). I do find that becuase I have not been practicing for years that I come across jargon and some practical issues that I have to ask for help on. Hope I can help with the technical advise in return.

Hi,

My name's Anny and I've started training to be a sparky as I graduated with a degree in English (completely useless in the real world as it turns out) 6 years ago and have been working in dreary, low paid, meaningless, dead end office jobs ever since. I spent a few days helping out my uncle who is an electrician and knew I'd found something I genuinely wanted to do with my life. As it is I'm finding the theory a lot easier than the practical but I'm hoping that will come with time and practice. I reckon being a woman in a male dominated profession should allow me to carve myself a bit of a niche in the market. I'm pretty thick skinned so I'm not worried about the ribbing I will undoubtedly receive from future co-workers. I'm about a month away from completely my Level 2 2330 cert and am hoping I can get myslef fully qualified within 3 years.

Welcome to the forum Ladies & Gents.

It's good to have you all on-board.

Having completed my Master's Degree in Literature, I pursue my dreams to become a writer and what push me to do it is my passion. I really believe that whatever career we pursue, we must have the passion towards what we do. Just like a car without gasoline so are we without passion towards what we do. It is also having said that passion alone will burn us out, so we need to put our hearts and soul into what we do, giving it everything we've got.

I've to this forum because I want to learn more about the discussions here..Thanks!
