Hello, I'm nearly qualified as an electrician and I'm just curious if there is any uni courses I can do to further my skill. I think I just want to keep learning haha! Any advice?

Thanks in advance. :D

    Learning is one thing but if you are qualified (and i assume, NOT working in that field) then 27 thousand pound debt doesn't seem very economical.

    I advise you get experience, if you want to learn, buy a book off amazon.

    Well if you are newly qualified, then you need to get experience, not a degree.


    Have you spoken to loacal electrical companies or large employers that have in-house maintenance teams?


    Are you a member of a competent persons scheme such as NAPIT or NEIEIC?

    i think we both made the same mistake, he isn't qualified yet, he said nearly qualified.
