Keep up with your quals because the easier you make it for the electrician the better, and if a few others are going for the same job then the more experience, quals and the right attitude will help.
However what you have at the moment is a good start for you.
No qualifications needed to be a mate, carry on with your training (2330L3 if still available in your area). Your level 2 should make you an ideal candidate for a mate/adult trainee role somewhere, best of luck to you.
