Training to become an electrician...help please.

[omnomnom]

Hi,

So i've decided on a career change and after some thought i was to become an electrician. I've just had my final interview with tradescollege.co.uk and the qualifications i will be obtaining are :

• Defined Scope Part P
• Domestic Electrical Installer Level 2
• C&G 2365
• Full Scope Part P
• Level 3 C&G 2365 & NVQ
• AM2

I would be paying £180 a month for four years for this which totals £7800.

Is this expensive? I dont think it is but my wife does.


Thanks

Why does it take 4 years? Is it mostly just regular paid work/experience with a fully qualified electrician, with a few week/months of training/exams?

It takes 3 its just paid for, for four.
