Technician training

[Funkyrascal]

Hi all
I saw a post on here about training as a service technician so thought this would be a good place to ask.
I fitted out a micro camper this year but I didn’t do the electrical system myself because I didn’t want to get it wrong.
I would like to gain more knowledge and confidence about it and maybe even consider fitting vans for a living or becoming a service technician.
I’ve found courses through ncc. Do I need any prior qualifications e.g domestic electrical or gas engineer before I can complete these courses or gain employment?
I’ve searched the internet but I can’t find any further information.

Another member in Ireland recently posted of a similar change of occupation. There are two routes one is MCEA, the other being NCC AWS. Have a look under thread Caravan Technician Training. It gives costs, qualifications, timescales, equipment etc.

This was the post I saw. It answers a lot of questions but doesn’t say if I would need previous qualifications or experience in electrics or gas

You can start from scratch give Paul Stapleton a ring at MCEA or email them www.mobilecaravanengineers.co.uk ) and he will give you lots of of helpful advice and starting from scratch is no hindrance other than the upfront costs of the specialist tools and the courses. The starter course (1 week at MCEA in Hilperton Wiltshire) will get you going .

The NCC AWS website explains that pre experience of electrics or gas isn’t a requirement for the course. Both NCCAWS and MCEA websites give a good range of info.
