Becoming an electrician

[R1-Jay]

Guys,

I currently install commercial fire alarms and gas suppression systems and i'm looking at increase my scope and knowledge and becoming a qualified electrician.

I know there are lots of courses if i want to study full time, but i have too many outgoings to be able to afford this.

Anyone know of a place/scheme/course i can either do weekends or preferably home study to an extent in order to gain the relevant qualifications?

will do the NVQ's at weekends to gain the full qualifications

never thought about it, would consider it but checking around today, it seems you really need to know someone in the offshore business to be able to get a foot in the door
