Would it be dificult at 33?
No, there are tons of electrician training schools which allow you to get your certificate at any age. You can find and research these schools at collegesurfing.com/search/ or you can try a google search.

Most states require a period of time working under a Master Electrician, This time period in Maryland is 7 years. This is also known as your apprenticeship time. There are some schools that run 2 or 3 evenings a week to support this. They are ABC schools. The Association of Builders and Contractors. After your 7 years of training under the Master you are then permitted to take the Masters Test. If you pass it you become a Master Electrician. Some states also have Journeyman Licenses. This permits you to do some work as an electrician and run a small crew of people. To become a Journeyman takes about four years. I left a police department at age 35 and started training as an electrician. Today I am 47 years old. I am now a senior electrician with a Defense Contractor. I also do some electrical engineering for them. You can to this at your age but you really need to like this type of work in order to move ahead. I hope this helped you out.

Look in your Yellow Pages, and go to the electrician section. Ring through each number and ask if they take on young people for apprenticeship. You're bound to get some firm looking. They'll teach you all you need to know and put you through all the necessary qualifications. Also, the vast majority pay around £100 a week for going.

you'll need a ticket, I'm not sure what it is, but college is the start. You may find that there are a bunch of financial support packages around, depending on where you live and if you've been unemployed. In the UK, Career Development Loan is one. This is the kind of thing that your local job centre is supposed to be good at.
Pay attention at college - you can't switch the brain off as a sparkie!
