Not a clue

[leccyman]

I am new to this site and the industry. I have just passed all my exams making me full scope domestic installer. Whilst reading some of the posts I am even more convinced i know nothing. Will I ever get it. there seems so much to learn and understand. passing the exams means nothing as far as I a:Cm concerned

good to see you know your limits

really, you wont learn much until you do the work.

look though past threads, or ask questions on the parts your not sure about

 

[Doc Hudson]

If there are areas you are unclear about, then here is the best place to ask. We have often said there is no such thing as a daft question. Everyone had to learn or be told stuff at some stage. The answerers will gradually gel into a broad base of knowledge and experience. As Andy says, there is no quick and easy route, but you will get there.

Well you've come to the right place! There are a lot of knowledgeable folks on here who will be able to answer any questions you throw at them. There are also a lot of learners (like myself), and there are plenty of relevant questions already answered.

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of course have you been on? 5 day, 3 week etc?

Welcome.

leccyman, if your unsure ask, there are loads of good guys on here that are great at talking you through jobs and regs, its very overwelming when you first start, i've been at it a year now and still ask silly ouestions and scratch my head, the most important thing is that you get it right, so ask and ask again if you have to

Hi leccyman, I've been in the job 11 years but only been self employed 14 months. What a difference! All of sudden you've got to test! It totally changes your way of thinking and is a totally different ball game. Its made me realise that you never stop learning, I'm now explaining things to my uncle (an excellent, 42 years served commercial spark) that hes never come accross. Things as simple as 17th edition DB's and Zs testing, in turn he's recently given me a few tips about fire alarms. This job can be so varied but thats what is so great about it, as long as know your limits and aren't afraid to ask you'll definetly be fine.

Hi Leccyman , your honesty is noted and appreciated, it shows up the inadequacy of the fast track system TBH . Its hands on experience you need, as you now realise, stick with the Forum and I'm sure the guys will try to help.

You might want to have a look at some of the historic threads on the Forum, many questions have been asked and answered before. You will also note that some of the Forumites are quite mad and are on medication but will ,occasionally give excellent and sensible answers. I name no names, they know who they are..... I , of course am not on medication and have recently learned to tie my own shoe laces and button my coat without missing a button hole.
