30 Minutes to Electrical Mastery: The Challenge of a Full EICR - Impossible or a Game-Changer?Think you can conquer the EICR challenge in just 30 minutes?

Sounds tempting, right? But the cold, hard truth is, a proper EICR in 30 minutes is as elusive as a unicorn. Not only is the paperwork practically worthless, but the electrician is also setting themselves up for potential legal trouble.💡Buckle up for the reality check – the EICR challenge is no speedy sprint; it's a meticulous marathon where quality can't be compromised. Who's ready to embrace the truth and uphold the standards?"

Things could have been so much easier if I just knew what I know now. This is like so many things in life, you learn the lesson too late. But learning the lesson to pass on to others - its never too late for that. Its just will they listen? Or ignore it like you did? Training to be an electrician can be harder then actually doing the job. Its a test to see if you have what it takes. A test to see if you can make it, if your the type of person who likes a challenge, you will be successful and become a qualified electrician, and face new challenges every day. Your ideas get better, you get quicker at the job and eventually pass all that knowledge down to an apprentice. Then and only then will you understand what it takes to be an electrician. Some apprentices don't make it to the end. For a number of reasons, but if your going to start an apprentice as an electrician - finish it. You will have a job for life however hard it is. Just like you find out in todays podcast.

To be honest that could be possible. The only way to find out the real reason is to listen to the podcast. Its not electricians retiring or there isn't a plan to build a lot more houses.

All Electricians use these materials, they are the best quality! Being a good electrician is one thing. But what makes us better is the materials we install. The better the equipment, the better the job. Getting a call saying that the sockets you installed don't work, doesn't look good on you. As an electrician you can go for the most expensive materials, this doesn't always mean that it's not going to fail! It's happened to me with a huge brand before. You can't really say a brand is the best until you have used it and installed it yourself. Just because the brand of material has been around for a long time, doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. In this podcast I came up with a plan on how to determine the materials you install, along with the way to get the best prices from your wholesaler. You don't have to stick with the same wholesaler, and it could be a good idea to shop around.Just like I explain in another podcast here - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/60e371f9-c8ff-4b6f-87f3-1a187fd4ca48

£156K a year is a good amount of money for anyone.Even the Prime minster would be happy with that! The question is HOW are electricians in the UK being able to earn such a high wage, and if any electrician can do it - How do I get my piece of the pie?I wanted to know if it was actually true, electricians are earning that amount. So I took a closer look into why this was said. The reasons do actually make sense. Along with electricians possibly earning more in the future. Its all about positioning yourself for the future and being the electrician who gets that call. When that calls comes ..... Name your price 😁
