Advice on training

MrJack96

Hi guys I hope this is the right section for this post. I was looking for a-bit of advice regarding experience and training. I’ve been in electrical maintenance for almost 5 years now. My qualification is engineering maintenance electrical NVQ 3. I’m also studying towards a HNC in electrical engineering. I feel like I lack experience in electrical installations and testing although I have also completed my test and inspection. I feel like I’m in a difficult place at the moment as I know I can do the work just lack confidence. I’ve tried reaching out to people to get more installations and testing experience unpaid and managed to get a day testing but it’s been a struggle.
I guess my ultimate goal is to be one of these electricians that can turn there hand to anything.

Sorry for the long post, any advice will be greatly appreciated

    Zoom, a very useful book if you appreciate the limitations, practicalities of the testing procedure.  Its unlikely to be so useful without hands on experience. Although, when I started teacher training, I suprised my tutor by teaching one of the three most practical demonstratable subjects, how to wire a BS1363 plug, as a theory class.  .......
