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

    Thank you so much everyone for the replies. I think I do need to just get out there and hopefully find some contacts along the way. I do find it hard to meet people willing to show you the ropes with testing, but I also understand they have to also make money so having me along side them isn’t ideal. I shall still keep trying.

    Confidence is developed over time. The only things to remember are 1. Don't touch live bits with your fingers. 2. Don't blow up the customers appliances. 3. Don't be shy.

    Oh, and apply the mantra of The  Marharishi of Cricklewood

    I can do it

    I can do it

    I can do it
