[QUOTE="DonClif, post: 544055, member: 36659"] Hi Guys, I have recently been retraining to become an DEI electrician with Access Training, I was a bit dubious about the course at first but it's been a lot more in depth than I was expecting and with a good amount of self motivation I seem to be getting along well. There is also a practical section with 5 days of tests at the end, so it's a bit more than the other online only courses I've researched. I have a pretty decent amount of electrical experience (for a mortal) from working as multi-trade alongside a very helpful electrician who taught me all the basics, eg. installing a ring final, a radial, wiring a CU, and a bit of the maths involved in selecting cable and protective devices. My plan is to go self employed and eventually get on a CPS, I have been networking with local small electrical firms to offer labour and gain as much extra experience as I can, one of which was happy to help out and send some work my way. my 2 questions are: 1. Does this sound like an acceptable path into the industry? 2. Does a 'Domestic Electrical Installer' course completely limit me to dwellings? eg. In the future, could I extend a ring final in a business unit? as I have already been offered this job based on the person knowing my previous work, but am unsure whether i legally could do the job, or not. Thanks for any help or advice [/QUOTE]
