I was a full time Firefighter for 30 years, I went to college at the age of 40 to do my City & Guilds to become an Electrician, I worked for free at various firms to gain knowledge rewiring houses etc etc this give me the hands on. 3 years at college. I then started my own Electrical business and never looked back, you have to give something to get experience. I was NIC qualified once I got my college City & Guild. I was never out of work once I started. I also travelled the World doing electrical work once I retired at 50, live in Thailand now and still keep my hand in. The Electrics are so bad here. I worked in Europe on workaway projects doing Electrical work accommodation and food for free, Once you have a trade the World is yours, I never looked back once qualified, working for yourself is the way to go.Now almost 60 and still enjoy the challenge of electrical work and fault finding.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on how to become an Electrician.
Do it, it works.

I got an apprenticeship at the age of 36! Was supposed to be taking my am2 this year but covid 19 has put a spanner in the works. I worked as an overhead linesman but was sick of working away. Found the college work ok but I had forgotten a lot of my maths!i work for a firm that does mainly commercial work and I don’t feel it’s the best work to learn on. I helped out a friend rewiring his house and learnt more on that job than nearly 4 years on commercials. He allowed me to make mistakes and sort them out myself which made all the difference.

I’m a nurse of 30 yrs and plan to start the course in January.

[dickysimpson]

A video about making the jump from employed to self employed with information about cost and how, from register a company and way forward etc would be nice to see.

[thomasbyles]

Could have done with this video 2 years ago but I’m getting there 🤙

[ghspaelectricalservices]

Good advice. I worked for a firm as a mate and went to night school. Took me a good 3 to 4 years to get to the point I wanted to be.
But it’s important to remember you never stop learning in this industry.

[meshtech]

I am 27 years old, i only just started my electrician course, I’m doing a domestic electrical installer, online via weekend practical. also just started work as a sub contractor electrician mate about a week ago, definitely want to carry on learning to become fully qualify and work in different areas. Also believe YouTube helps I.e I watch a lot of your videos

I'm 50 and wanting to retrain as an electrician. It is difficult to know where to start. I can't afford a full course at the moment, so am doing some research. This video was helpful. I'm doing a PAT testing course soon as it will be useful for some projects I have, but it seems my only realistic route is to try and approach some companies to see if they will take me on as an Electrician's mate (for very low or nil wages) while I study in my spare time.

[jjohanesson]

I'm 45 and want to become an apprentice and ultimately an electrician. Willing to do the hard work, put in the time and even work for free/peanuts.

[spanishmarc]

I've been working with an electrician for the last year and a half. The job is nearly all domestic and I love it. I have recently purchased the 18th edition regs and plan to do one of these intensive courses early next year. I'm 52 and this will hopefully be my last career change.

[mikemines]

I started in 1962 at 15 with one years probation and then five years apprenticeship on an electricity board. An electrician in those days connected and did fault finding and we had wireman to do the wiring. Took me until 1972 to become approved. Some little nerk looked down his nose recently and said it was only the 13th edition regs we did. I told him in the final for a full tech we didn't take anything into the room with us and had to know the regs book by heart. Great apprenticeship though, overheads, jointing, commercial and industrial plus HV to 11kv. Even did three months with Prestcold on refrigeration. That training took me all around the world when I was younger.
As an aside heat pumps came up at Prestcold all those years ago, we were told unless you had a river at the bottom of your garden forget it.

[stephenmontague]

I did my electrical apprentice starting a few days after my fifteenth birthday in 1972 and finishing on my twenty-first birthday in 1978. I was paid 13p per hour in 1972 and I think electricians got 52p per hour. I have 14th, 15th, 16th 17th and 18th Editions qualifications. Sorry to say that I now seem to spend half my time correcting other electricians work. Of some recent memorable 'electricians' I've worked with one did not seem to known what a brass bush was. Another who did not know what a Spur does. Another connected ten telephone sockets in an office then opened the other box of ten telephone sockets and because they were not the usual make he worked with he could not connect them. Another did not know that you have to pull out the bar of some 100 amp 3P switches to turn switch off, he tried pushing the red knob on the end of the bar down while bar was still in switch. One asked the foreman for 'an easy job'. One fitted a fluorescent light over a lathe in a workshop that only had a single phase supply. I could go on and on. I think it's a sad state of affairs when 'qualified' electricians know less than an apprentice would knew in the 70's.

I've worked in electrical wholesaling for 7 years with 4 years as a manager and I'm doing my C&G 2365 lv 2&3. My one advantage is I have loads of product knowledge and a good understanding of the products and what works together. I'm hoping to work for one of my customers and make up for my lack of experience in installing with my commercial knowledge of the products and pricing.

[markg]

Thanks for another great vid jordon i have completed level 2 and 3 diploma at college and have been trying to get some work experience since october tried everything, took my cv around lots of electrican firms in liverpool, emailed, called no one seems interested in giving me a chance starting to think i wasted the last two years now

[rd]

My goal is to complete the 6 month course with EV/renewable training then work closely with colleagues on the side whilst I earn a decent wage to learn as much as I can. I plan on focusing on specialising on one thing at a time and taking more courses/shadow experience to specifically learn the next challenge. It seems like a somewhat never ending learning ladder, but definitely worth it.

But.. we’ll see. I’ll update you in ten years to advise if I ever made a yearly 6-figure sum..

[josiah]

Hi, could you do a little video on what its like training with JTL, and some of the details like, the pay from year 1 - 4, the qualifications received and also what its like finding work after. Just your overall experience with JTL

[paultipton]

My apprenticeship was about 3 years with the first year one month at college then next at work and alternating, 2nd year it was about 3 months at work to 1 month college.3rd year work for a year before AM2, I used to alternate between Domestic, schools, Hospitals, industrial learning different skills on site

[ianpentz]

I’m retiring from flying and always wanted to learn the basics for a trade, been practically handy.
My intention is to renovate small apartments/houses, I purchase, so I need to do the rough work and get a full qualified electrician to sign my work out. Therefore I need a basic course on wiring eg sockets, lights, trunking ie all small intensive high work load work
This will not include boilers, etc, just basic trunking and rewiring homes. Thanks ian

[Veterans_electrics]

That's the route I went when having my career change worked as electrician mate then did the intense course to get the qualifications but learnt everything on The job just gutted I waited till I was 30 before retraining
