Is this the right forum to talk about it?
Since I started visiting the EEVBlog and watching videos of electronic related stuff, Mr. Google keeps showing me a lot of ads related to electrician training and examinations in the UK. I had a quick look at relevant stuff, it seems that the cost is not that high. It got me interested in taking some courses and trained as an electrician.
Don't get me wrong, my main purpose of doing the training is not to get into the trade. I'm in a completely unrelated profession, which I like and it treats me well. I dunno, maybe just want to be qualified and be able to DIY here and there at home or helping family and friends. I don't mind the odd paid job here and there, if I have time.
So what is the minimum requirement to be able to work in a domestic environment? Is 17th Edition Courses enough?
