Hi,
Need some advise please if possible. I’ve recently had two good interviews with a big Wind Turbine Company in the Cambridgeshire area. Both interviews seemed to go well. But sadly i didn't get the job of Wind Turbine Service Technician. I’m a fully qualified HGV technician and seem to have only lost out as the other person had High Voltage experience. I was wondering if there is any training courses people could recommend. I have been thinking about doing GWO Working at Heights and first aid courses but now thinking about doing a City & Guilds Domestic Installation Electrical courses then the 17th Edition course as most companies will put you through the health & safety course anyways, really not sure what to do for the best.

Thanks

It depends upon exactly what gap you are attempting to fill. A more targeted approach based upon the essential competencies required of the roles you're interested in may be a better option? You've already had feedback you say on what you were short of this time; can you address that specific deficit? Good luck?

Lack of electrical competence will be hurting your efforts.

Simply going out and doing additional qualification will not give you competence either I'm afraid. Competence comes through qualification AND experience.
