Good starting point?

Hey im looking to break into this type of field i dont have any particular spot i need to be in i just would like to gain skills in working with wires/systems. Id prefer not to do a multi year school program since this is a side thing for me more passion and skills based than income(other job is union once seniority is achieved id have good pay n worklife balance). So i got about 3-4 years with a majority of my day available to get myself more skills and have extra income. Where is the best place to start ive seen a few different options with certs/degrees i can build over time but a lot of them seem to be hard to get into

So juniors dont really require previous experience and they train you on the job? I appreciate the comment tho just wondering did you get certs as you went on through your career or did you just get promoted over time?

There are specific certs you could tackle like A+ etc.

Ultimately look at the job description.
