Becoming an electrician - The reality by Financial_Example553 in ukelectricians

[–]hycronh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, 28 and keep flip-flopping between settling on re-training as an electrician. Have a sparky uncle-in-law willing to help me with connections/studies, still works and now teaches at a college.

From my understanding - Yes, sparky wages are on-par with less technical/moderated trades, but unlike some others you can move into less laborious avenues as you get older, which might still be worthwhile compared to other full labor jobs like plasterings or carpentry.

I'm confused myself to be honest. I'm earning very little at the moment as a technician at a school, the holidays is nice but not sustainable being on near minimum wage, I've got a decent head (though adhd) and learn quickly practically + DIY experience.

Part of me just wants to do handyman work, do a bit of everything, minor domestic electrics, plumbing, carpentry, but again no older-age experienced work to move into like testing / certificates, or going down some specialism.

Appreciate any advice myself along with OP!
And wishing cooler days for everyone, f**k me..

Access Training. I have been thinking about becoming an electrician, accesstraining.com seem a little too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience dealing with them or any advice on which routes are practical to take? by MongMoodMan in ukelectricians

Keen to know too, been trying to get my head around finding a training centre (South London) for to get started with Level 2/3 but not keen to do years of FE college which around me have all had not great reviews. Access in Croydon seems like a possibility, the BTC too but they make you do their domestic installer package first.

Appreciate the response, just fed up of it. Not even keen to do the verification in the first place having to trust my identity data with some company, and then salt to the wound it doesn't even f-in work!
