Electrician Courses

[Monty]

Just wondering if anyone on here is or is training to become an electrician and can point me in the right direction for a decent course. Ideally learn from home with some practical work but definately open to all advice.

22, i have got a mortgage to pay so would prefer evening classes or learn from home so i can still carry on working. However, i would def consider full time course/ apprentice if figures worked out (have some money saved to help through).

Good luck with that, they want to take them on at 16 and 17 so they dont have to pay them any minimum wages when they're training them.

yeh thought so, just looked at a college course, 2 nights a week, 2 years to qualify and first year costs about £700. Thats leading it for me at the mo.
