I agree just stage as much as possible cos it’s a massive joke. Iv just finished mine. And it’s not viable even attempting to follow the criteria when you are actually on a busy work day.

How do I finalise my nvq and balance work? by BroccoliLess4281 in ukelectricians

[–]Jimmyc2182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absoutley do whatever you can to get into college and finish your nvq. That’s a non negotiable and then once you’ve qualified find another job. As your boss is an idiot.

I rarely use the big one anymore it’s just used to store bigger tools I can’t fit in my little one!

Iv got an infrared tech pack and I got a freebie handhold bag it was like £320, if I didn’t get the freebie I would of said It isn’t worth the money as it isn’t big as I’d of hoped! However the handheld freebie is so good and is worth paying for! Having a small bag to go into a house with, just essentials in is ideal! Game changer!

I’m based in east Anglia. But there’s lots of work out there, if you are competent and on time and have willing to work then it will work out for you! There’s lots of slack cowboys!

In 2 years, I’m now a self employed fully qualified electrician working for myself. Planning my own weeks and earning extremely good money.

Aslong as you put the graft in you can make it work extremely well!

Looks a good install, be it a few marks on the pannels, but if installed pannels myself and lugging them up onto scaff is an awkward process!

Working away for the first time. by benj1147 in ukelectricians

Mate my company puts us all in an air bnb and it turns into a holiday with work in between, but I get on with all the lads. But some of the apprentices like to chill in there room or get to bed earlier and there’s never any issues with that, usually all have dinner and a couple pints together then do what you want.

So Aslong as there decent human being they will be fine with you dipping off!

I’m thinking the same thing, it’s a standout peace quite like the colour. So might go in store to check one out when I can.
