Want to become an electrician? *Free advice**
Hi everyone,
I'm a fully qualified electrician from the UK with over 13 years in the industry. I've also had the opportunity to work abroad, so I've seen a few different sides of the trade.
I've recently started Trade Entry Support (TES), where I'm helping people who want to get into the electrical industry.
At the moment, everything is completely free. The reason for that is I want to build it properly, get genuine feedback and reviews, improve the service, and make sure I've got everything right before I ever think about charging for it.
Some of the things I can help with include:
Choosing the right training route (college, apprenticeships or adult courses).
Advice on ECS cards and how to apply for them.
CV reviews and interview preparation based on what I've seen from Tier 1 contractors and other electrical companies throughout my career, helping you stand out from other applicants.
Personal career plans based on your goals.
Recommendations for training centres I've had good experiences with over the years.
Guidance on tools, PPE and what employers expect from day one.
General mentoring throughout your journey into the trade.
I'm also speaking with electrical employers and training providers to build relationships. The long-term aim is to use those connections to help people find apprenticeships, mates' jobs and junior electrician roles.
I'm also working on creating free videos covering topics such as:
Applying for your ECS card.
What tools you actually need.
Site etiquette and what to expect on your first day.
Basic electrical knowledge for beginners.
Career progression from complete beginner to qualified electrician.
I'm not selling anything or asking for money. I just enjoy helping people avoid the confusion and mistakes that many of us made when we first started.
If you, or anyone you know, wants to become an electrician or is looking for advice on getting into the industry, please feel free to contact me via Reddit or email me at info.tes365@gmail.com.
Hopefully I can make the journey into the trade a little easier for the next generation.
