how can i do this when i would already need to be employed in an electritian firm to get on a college course, doing this i would have to take a big pay cut and could not afford bills. other training courses cost £5000 over 3 years which i still cant afford.

My brother is taking home classes to train to be an electritian for the same reason. He works full time (with overtime) and doesn't really have much time left to go to classes. With the home class, they send you the books and periodically send you tests. You just do the studying on your own time and send them the test answers and they will let you know your grades and stuff. I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it can't be much because he is on a tight budget right now. The home classes do take longer than going to school, but if that's your only option, then why not try it? You could probably search on the internet for these type of home classes.

If you go and work as a Trainee Electrician then any decent employer will pay the College/Training Centre Fees fo you, while still paying you.
Or you can do the necesaary training in Evening Classes.

Take an evening course and contact a local electrician and offer to be their apprentice over half a day over the weekend. YOu may not get paid for this!

Go to evening classes! Most colleges offer evening classes these day on electrical and electronic engineering. Check with your local college or learning direct for free and impartial advice.

a pay cut at the begining will still means rewards later on so go for it. Your only progressing yourself.
i went back to uni at 26, after earning a good 20,000 a year. i was worried about the major pay cut, but when you are there you just get through it.

my brother is a self employed electrician, he started out working for the MEB straight from school, they trained him, sent him on courses, he got completely qualified and then he started his own business a few years ago. He's now 28 and doing bloody well for himself! I would definately approach the MEB if I were you. Good luck.
