hey mate you should defiantly go for this im almost done myself.
some said here go to college and work self employed as you go, unfortunately you can not does this as law requires you to be a competent person to play with electrics. which you will not be until finished. So will have to be with a company, you'll find most one man band types would not be interested in hiring you as they are not up to scratch themselves since they will also be checked, they don't bother. im having that problem around me.
if you were going to do the college route and find a job, you'll need the new City and Guilds NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnology (2357)
the 2330 now has stopped and does not exist any more. people who have done this or finishing it will still count.
there are companies that offer the whole thing in like 6 weeks for £XXXXS stay clear you will never learn it all form these types, they only bread cowboys who kill people.
if you need any help just pm me good luck dude
