I did a two years on a day release course while working part time as a sparkys mate(on a yts scheme with my football club) you need the experience of site work to become a good sparky. It is ok in colleage when it on a board in front of you but try doing it in a loft with a small light and no room!
Try and get a job with a company as an aprentice show willing and they will pay for you course! It's a good trade keep working at it. But try to do a 3 year course with the work as well. You will be better at the job for it i missed the final year for a footy contract!
