Hello everyone. I wonder if I could get some advice?
I am an electrician (20 years) and like most other people I am struggling for work. I have been fitting solar PV panels for the last 2 years but as you're probably aware, the backside has fallen out of the market. I am considering a plumbing course to try and get into other renewable energy technologies - Solar thermal etc.
Like most electricians, I am pretty handy when it comes to the practical side of plumbing but I'm probably sadly lacking on the theory side. My aim is to do a short sharp course (8 weeks) and get my qualifications that way. I know this kind of approach is often frowned upon (our industry has plenty 5 week wonders....) and I am aware that this won't make me an experienced plumber - but it's a step.
I wonder if some members could give me some advice on good training providers, or warn me off the bad ones? Ideally I would like to train in Birmingham.
I appreciate your help.
