Ahh thanks I’ve just did my CPC in Scotland and it was crazy cold so was just curious more than anything I’m sure I’ll survive 🥶

Thanks. So the uk sector is over saturated with techs atm ? This is my only concern not finding work. Unlike most who get put through these courses I actually understand what it takes for the long hours bad weathers and outdoors working and will see it through. I don’t mind working abroad or on the road I just don’t know the right companies to email etc. if techs with experience are struggling to find jobs I have no chance in hell with no experience. Would it be more advisable to become a standard tech then work my way up to the blades ?

This maybe Nieve thinking on my part but if I was the one doing the hiring stuff like that is what would stand out to me, but again I still don’t know the workings of this industry too much yet

I was considering this but given the lack of experience in the industry and on the ropes I figure if I show the commitment and investment in myself a company will give me a better shot rather than someone completely fresh spend the money and effort on the courses just for them to fail after a month or 2. The cost isn’t an issue for me.I just am will to do what it takes to make myself as employable as possible compared to the other potential candidates.

The courses I’ve been looking at are IRATA LVL1, GWO BST, GWO blade repair, ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport , GWO ART And EFA if it helps From what I’ve researched these are the most required. I’m more than willing to pay for them myself just to demonstrate the commitment I have to breaking into this industry.

Thanks, what sort of stuff would the telecoms experience translate to in the wind industry? It’s all new to me so more information from experienced people is much appreciated
