When I enrolled at college to the electrical courses as evening classes the head of department said I could go straight into the second year of the C&G 2360 Part 1 course because “The first year is for sixteen year olds straight out of school who don’t know how to drill a hole in a wall and put a Rawlplug in to hold a screw, so you don’t need to do it”.

What he did say I needed to do and what I did do was:

• City and Guilds Electrical installation 2360 part 1
• City and Guilds Electrical installation 2360 part 2
• City and Guilds 16th Edition 2380
• City and Guilds Inspection and testing 2391
• City and Guilds Design, erection and verification 2400

I was the only one out of the original twenty who enrolled to make it through to the end, after three years of attending evening classes and getting five electrical City and Guilds awards I said to the head of department “That’s it then, I’m an electrician“ he replied “Do you think so?”.

Since then I have retaken the Wiring Regulations exam three times because of updates and done other job specific training courses leading to additional qualifications as CPD, such as the C&G PV installation and maintenance course and PAT, as well as BPEC and NAPIT courses for domestic ventilation, water regulation, emergency lighting, fire alarms, in amongst others.

Generally electrical work is incidental to some other installation work such as installing lighting, heating, appliances, etc being an electrician is not just about joining wires together, it’s about making a whole installation function as required.

I really should earn more money.
