My mate did the intensive course....I think it was 2 courses back to back. It was very intensive...he got through it....and walked into a job straight after.
Think it was 3 months total.
He was asking me before the course why we have ring mains...same question came up on his course and his tutor was well impressed he knew the answer
Stupid question but why? I hide from electrics unless it’s 12v cars

beggars cant be choosy you have to take whats available
My 2 eldest lads all work for the National Grid.....they love it and it pays very well.....one does big pylons and the other small pylons (or thats how they describe it to me, although neither go near a pylon)
There are always vacancies....i know because they are always trying to recruit my youngest....who is also an Electrician

He was doing 12hr days...3 months and he had enough paperwork to start work.
I should probably have said he had 20 years non UK experience but needed the paperwork!
2365 level3...I think that was one of them...might got that wrong...not my area!

I'll bet he learnt nothing new from the 2365!
All box ticking.
As a mature student I did C&G 2330 over 3 years to Level 3 and did the 17th along the way. At the end of it we were told we might like to go onto to do I think it was 2357. There were no takers
Turns out 2357 has NVQ status whereas 2330 doesn't. Doesn't half hold you back trying to get JIB cards etc.
Tbh after 3 years study I couldn't be arsed doing any more. Cash is king though with all these scams.
Look how they've dumbed down Part P from what it came in as.

i literally have no idea.
i wanted to do electrickery.
this was the highest level course available to me, at the nearest college, at convenient times, with my qualifications+experience.
i've got a cousin who runs a commercial maintenance company who'll give me some "work experience" for my second year - and then I'll worry about further courses.
as long as i can get liability insurance, and be able to sign off my own work...

It has to be not quite enough to be obvious and just enough to be annoying, it takes years to perfect it
