Electrical Progression and training.

MrJack96
Hi guys just wanted some advice on career progression and my options. Here is a bit about me. 


I’m 25 served originally a mechanical apprenticeship then completed a HNC in mechanical engineering. I was always curious about the electrical industry and wanted to know more and learn more so I decided to work for a company carrying out maintenance where I then completed an electrical apprenticeship. I am a very inquisitive individual so as you can imagine have many questions on topics I’d like to understand better which at a technician level is not always possible getting the answers off peers. 


My interest is in electrical engineering and am wanting to hopefully study towards a HND/ maybe a degree but wanted advice on what you guys reckon is best. I am currently in full time work. Not sure if it’s best to stay where I am and self fund a HND while I still work (I know it may be hard as I don’t think I will be allocated any time at work to study). Or to potentially find a job with another company which will support my studies? 


thank you for your help in advance guys

    Congratulations on your progress so far!


    I would say embrace any opportunity to improve your education.


    I am a great fan of the Open University, but sadly the very modest fees were increased almost 10 years ago. The great thing about it is that "open" means open.


    The traditional approach to university is to accumulate shed loads of debt in the 3 years after leaving school. Surely it is better to work and at least in part to pay one's way. Perhaps harder, but better in the long run.


    Good luck!
