Electrical Design Courses & Regulations Recommendations (London, UK)

Adrian B
Morning All


Somewhat out of touch with training courses (due to my age) and was simply wondering if anyone has any recommendations for electrical training courses for young up and coming engineers who wish to learn about electrical design (building services) and to gain a better understanding of the regulations (BS7671 etc.)


Any suggestions or recommendations would be hugely appreciated.  Looking preferably around the London area (unless online of course).


Thanks

    Interesting that you should say that.  My personal feeling is that some people think embellishment to their CV's is acceptable nowadays.  To this end, I do not understand why they do as there is certainly a chance that you will be caught out.  I can only assume that this occasionally happens to provide the applicant a means to at least get an interview?


    What is frustrating from an employers point of view is that not only are you not finding the ideal candidate for your company, you are having your time wasted also, and we all know how precious that can be in this industry.  I also find that I am probably too harsh myself if I am ever reviewing CV's as I try to sort the wheat out from the chaff, which is possibly not a good thing either.  Difficult situation to be in overall.


    Anyhow, I do not suppose that this is ever going to stop soon, so in the mean time I guess we just crack on with things and do our best.


    Kind regards
