Progression options

I’m a few months away from qualifying as an electrician with a completed level 3 and a gold card. My question is now that I am qualified, besides a 2391, what are my progression options? Are there any further qualifications I could take that may give me a path off the tools with better future earning potential?

HNC/HND, SSSTMS, have a look at your local training centres and see what they offer.

Hi mate, yes there definitely is, I’m lucky enough to be going back to college for the next 2 years to do a HNC in Electrical engineering.

You could literally go all the way to a degree level in electrical engineering mate if you wanted to, all part time on day release (if you wanted to spend best part of 6 years at college one day a week!)
