A friend of mine is looking into becoming an electrician, although we dont know where to start with courses and such. He is in employment but works odd hours so will have time for home study but we want to know if anyone knows of which course is best to do, it will have to involve home study but he can attend odd weeks for hands on training.
Does anyone know which qualifications are the best to have, how much the course is and where to do it?
thankyou.

Yes Sheffield College, tell your friend to get the Choices brochure (either ring the college or get a copy from Sheffield Library). It details all the part-time courses they do starting in September, including electrical installation NVQ Level 2 (which he will probably start with).
