Welcome aboard and what part of Canada are you from? I am always confused with this pre-apprenticeship stuff.

Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

I was going to make a separate post in the general discussion area with my questions though.

Hello.
I am from Canada. I am registered to do my 6 month initial training program before finding an apprenticeship. I was hoping to use this forum for advice.
It did say when I was signing up that this forum was for electricians only, so hopefully being just a student is ok?

Cheers

Hello !Tom, welcome to the forum..:thumbup:

Welcome to the forum, as long as you don't ask us how to fix a screwed up 3way or what size wire to pull for your new hot tub, you should be fine here!

I'm a lower mainlander here. Heard the island is a hard place to work for an electrician. Mainland you'll work a lot, the hard part is making decent money.

Just some scam the schools run, so they can soak some students on tuition and soak the government for subsidies.

They take 6 months to teach kids how to turn a screw driver and make them think they know more than they do.. which is such a blessing to employers. Nothing like having green guys who think they're wire surgeons.

I know a guy who wants his grow-op wired. I turned the job down. Want his number?

 

[FrunkSlammer]

It's a good business to be in while still alive.

Well see the trick is not to wire up grow ops. You wire up green houses for people to grow Tomatoes in.
