I’m Shane Moore and I’m doing the level two and level three electrical course. I’m currently training with ERR this week on week nine to do my 2.3.9.1.5.2 electrical certificate. This is my final week before I start my am2 and then I’ll be qualified. Prior to starting the course I was employed as an area manager for a hospice charity, so looking after retail shops and Warehouse Logistics that kind of thing and then prior to that I’d predominantly been in retail management jobs for commercial retailers.
I always had an interest in the electrical side of construction. In previous houses that I bought I’d kind of done bits and pieces with electrical. Whereas I’ve never really sort of done any plumbing or anything like that, it didn’t really appeal to me, so that was a kind of for electrical would be the better choice for me to do.
Once I finished I aim to gain a bit more experience and then the future plan is to start my own company and then further down the line from that perhaps look at taking on apprentices who are either at college or doing these kind of courses to basically build a business.
I thought taking this course was the best route for me purely because it was it is fairly easy to sign up to, you know, you come, a guy comes around and sort of assesses your ability and why you want to do it and things like that and you sign up. Obviously a lot of it is study from home so it’s at your own pace and at the time I was obviously working as well so it kind of just worked for my situation at the time when I first joined up I found that the support was fine.
The facilities are great, the support, the guys John and Ian who are very knowledgeable and will always help you.
