Hello everyone,
Hope this is the proper place for this..
I am currently working full-time as a utility locator and wanted to change my career path. I took electrical engineering fresh out of high school but was forced to drop out seeing as my school relocated to a place I was not willing to commute (I live in Toronto and the school moved to Ottawa) With that being said I havent used my electrical exp. much since then (I am now 24) and have forgotten most of it - my knowledge can be summed up as minimal / basic (although I will most likely be refreshed once I start studying again) Long story short...
I have a house and a mortgage and want to continue to work (full time with my current company if possible) but also want to study construction electrician in the process.
Based on my situation I was looking to get some recomendations as to the best path to take - best schools as well - online perhaps?
I am sure some of you here are in my shoes or have once been and I am motivated and ready but lacking direction.
I have a few possible contacts of contractors who may be willing to train me without pay but want to do it the proper way (school and certificate, etc)
When taking online courses how does one do the hands on aspect?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
