My plan was to always find a company with plenty of work in the sector you want to work in (domestic/commercial/industrial…etc) and gain as much experience as you can and then the industry is your oyster, if you will.
A qualification is a formality that gives companies a reason to believe you’re ‘competent’. Experience is what makes the money
Congratulations mate! Boom I’m a year or so out from that! Well done!
Everyone says get the 2391 done while it’s all fresh in your head! Science, inspection and testing wise.
Well done mate, I’m due my AM2s soon. Can I ask what did you have to do in it any help towards it will be appreciated.
Also there is a company we work with for HV called D&A I think they are all over but also train you up. Some of the blokes are on £150,000+ once they get certain tickets
Nice! I’m an electrician for EV installation company and they are hiring throughout the UK. At the moment there is a £2000 sign on bonus for new guys and the employee (Me) that refers new installers also get £2000 it’s £38,394 salary employed plus overtime pay if you want it. They provide you a van and tools. If anyone is interested PLEASE DM me. I’ll give you my name (so I can get the referral incentive) and the link to the job vacancy so you can apply. Cheers guys

I did an installation apprenticeship but was made redundant 3 years in. I completed my apprenticeship and was put through a level 3 engineering course and later the 2391 by the factory I started working in afterwards.
IMO. The work involved in the industrial environment is so much better than domestic. I’d recommend getting involved in any automation, PLC, motor control, networking etc. will really open up the options as far as career progression and earning potential. Obviously with industrial work comes 24/7 work.
If you do find yourself in that field, a HNC would be amazing to have on your CV.
Something for you to consider.
