Hello All,

Welcome to the forum.

 

[yorkimick]

Hi everyone, I am Mick and new to the site. I started life as an electrician with an apprenticeship with the YEB in 1979 and Qualified after a 4 year apprenticeship & continued to work for them for 15 years. I then went self employed for 2 years and eventually decided a career change was needed.

I have since decided to return to my original trade as i am really not enjoying my current job.

As i have been out of the game for some years what qualifications will i need to obtain and where from?

I currently commute between Sheffield & Immingham?

Mick, 17th Edition and maybe the 2391 testing and inspection course. Sheffield College does them.

Hello,

I am looking to run armoured cable to a couple of sheds in my back garden. I thought this would be a good place to take advise on how to achieve this in a safe and professional manner.

Many thanks

Elecsa seem to be popular, and are the one's I'm going with.

Hi all,

Maybe i do need my head testing, but i need to change career (after too many years in retail!) & want to become an electrician...

Any reccommendations about how / where to train (Near York, North Yorks.) whilst still in current job would be great.

Any constructive help & advice will always be appreciated

- Thanks, Phil.

Hi I'm new to the forum, I'm a maintenance and installation spark working in glasgow

 

[openmind]

I trained as an electrician many moons ago but the company I worked for went bust and I left the industry. I am too old to start again but have joined the forum hoping to learn about the changes that have come about in the couple of decades purely for my own interest.
