If your social media disappeared tomorrow, how would people find your business? That's one reason having your own website matters. Your business needs a place online that you control, not just a profile on someone else's platform. Could your business survive without social media?

Excited to Join Electricians Wired Together!** Hello everyone! I’m excited to be part of Electricians Wired Togetherand connect with electricians who are passionate about improving their skills, sharing knowledge, and taking pride in quality workmanship. What attracted me to this community is the focus on practical learning, discussing code, improving installations, and helping one another grow. I believe there’s always something valuable to learn from people with different experiences and approaches to the trade. I’m looking forward to learning from the conversations here, discovering new insights, and connecting with fellow professionals who value respect, clarity, and craftsmanship. I’d also like to share a small opportunity that might be useful to someone here. A friend of mine is currently offering **FREE website design services** to help build and strengthen her portfolio. If you’re an electrician or run an electrical business and would like a professional website to showcase your services, I’d be happy to connect you with her. Happy to be here and looking forward to learning, connecting, and growing with everyone!

Im 19 year old aspiring electrician based in south london, i have completed my 18th edition, part p, 2391-50 51, pat testing. I am enrolled onto lvl 3 NVQ with access training. I am looking for advice on how to get electrician mate jobs to build portfolio for my NVQ. I have my own car, electrical tools, clean full licence and ECS Labourer Card. FYI: I had looked for apprenticeships and colleges before but had no luck hence i went down private training route with access training and funded my own qualifications. Access training give me 10 day practical install training and 3 day practical install exam for the NVQ before portfolio stage, which is the same as lvl 3 2365 courses but I understand this is limited compared to real on-site work. Hence im going down the private NVQ route to build practical experience as a mate/improver, with the end goal of achieving my ECS Gold Card. Any advice on how to find electricians/companies who are willing to take me on and help me with my NVQ would be greatly appreciated.

I JUST PASSED! 77% 6th time was a charm ;) who's taken it? what did you think?
