Re-training to be an electrician
I know this has come up before and I've had a quick rummage through some of
the older posts but: 1. Is it possible to re-train in the evenings 2. Presumably some sort of practical experience is also required 3. What sort of salay could you expect to start with and how would it rise with time I've got a B.Eng in electronic engineering so have some knowledge that might be useful - does the qualification help? Andy. |

I've got a B.Eng in electronic engineering so have some knowledge that
might be useful - does the qualification help? Not in itself, but it means that you will have no trouble whatsoever with any of the concepts and could be an advantage when setting out in business if you use the letters after your name. Christian. |

Yeah, I spotted an early post were you said you had one! I've got a PhD as well - fat load of use that will be. Christian. |

1) Availability of courses depends on where you live and what level you
want to achieve. A C&G on 16th Edition IEE regs ia an absolute must. Ask at your local college. 2) Again it depends on what you want to do but yes, practical experience is required. 3) Look in your local papre or job centre for salaries. With an electronics background, try looking at control engineering such as BMS or PLC's. They're a growing field. |

Andy. yes most local colleges will do evening courses, 16th edition and testing and inspecting courses would be a minimum Loz |
