VRQ level 2 Training

[pauld]

Having being made redundant as a TV engineer I would like to retrain and have been recommended by my local collage to take a VRQ level 2 course which covers domestic installations. It would seem looking at this forum that a lot of qualified and experienced electricians do not seem to rate this path into the industry. I have over 20 yrs experience and hold a city and guilds in electrical and electronic servicing, is there a better way to obtain the relevant qualifications? I am 45 and need to work during the day, nobody seems to want to employ without the relevant qualifications.

Sign up to the C&G 2330 at your local college, it can be done as an evening class, don't bother with short courses, they are a waste of time, effort and cash. Be wary as you will need the NVQ 3 in time to sign off domestic jobs in time.

Stick with C&G, its a lot more respected compared to any other theory/practical courses.
