My number 1 tip to all apprentices is to not be scared of asking questions. The people your asking didn't know the answer when they had your amount of experience either. Ask as many as you can about what things are called and what they do. Also if you've started doing more tasks on your own then ask for feedback on what you could do better and then next time implement it.
I’m not an electrician but that advice is brilliant irrespective of the field you aspire to get in to. It’s possible to make a great impression, do your job to a super high standard and still have a laugh at work as Artisan show on every job.
Cheers for that jordan appreciate it mate ive just applied for a few apprenticeships fingers crossed i hear back of one of them
You doing great work, love Your videos.
I am 2nd year in electrical trade here in UK, I am learning and trying get done qualifications, hardest part is that English is not my origin language.
So hopefully one day :) I have more confidence and motivations from Your videos.
Take care.
Some really good advice there, especially asking questions, thinking ahead and getting tools and materials ready before being asked and watching electrical youtube videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Getting tools and equipment ready proves youre learning about the job and thinking ahead, because in months to come you will be getting the tools and actually doing the job, it also helps the tradesman and manager see you understand and are thinking ahead.
Your videos are good and inspiring for those who may be seeking to become an apprentice electrician, would like to see some light in the background but good stuff.
You can join the IBEW as an apprentice wireman. They teach you while you work and the schooling is free minus cost of books. And pay increases with what year of apprentice you are until you break out. In the states it's a great option.
Great video, Jordan 😎
Written a blog about being an IT apprentice funnily enough, definitely worth it!
Quality vid, currently looking for one at the minute, which websites best to look at for electrical apprenticeships?
Grateful that someone in the electrical world has had the impetus and drive toward lifting others to speak on this subject..this is mentoring ..in a field that is crying out for it.
Thank you .
Great information
Hitting apprentice 121 up is sound advice for anyone looking for an apprenticeship or to know more as an employer. 🙌
Definitely!
First rule of electrical apprentices "Thou Shalt Not Clean Up After Yourself " as a builder I've always marveled at the ability of sparkie to drill fecking great holes in my timber framing leave the site looking like a bomb site and then invoice me a minimum of 50% more than the quoted price! But to be fair I think sparkies are a bit special from being lit up regularly does something to their brain cells. Dont get too offended I'm only joking well only about the overcharging it doesn't happen all the time
Good video Jordan . Good Advice. Is there a Building Trades infrastructure for Apprenticeship in Britian any more ? Here in the States and Canada our electrical apprenticeship is 4 to 5 years with 8000 hrs of on the job training and 800 hrs of classroom training. With a Licience Exam before qualifying. This is a union Apprenticeship program and is the same throughout North America. There are other programs but not as good. City and Guilds used to be the benchmark in training and qualifications at one time . Is it no more.
I thing your advice is excellent to any individual in looking to start their career. Bring your best self to the task. The Electrical Industry is certainly in need of good talent and so many areas to specialize in once qualified. Thank you for your efforts . Your Dad would be real proud of you, what you are doing and who you have become.
This is such a good point because there isn't one here to be honest, not that I know of.
Thank you for the tips, I will make sure to have a good presentation.
Great stuff!
@@artisanelectrics I just made a video of myself on my channel, could you please tell me your honest opinion? I would REALLY appreciate that. it's 1min long and it's filmed from my phone.
any specific videos or websites that I can check out that will show me actual electrical work? classroom and/or in the field.
As you say - there's no dumb questions, just the one unasked
Any tips for someone looking at a career change? I'm 28 and realise that I'd be more expensive as after the first year I'd be paid living wage etc. I'm looking at studying the L2 EAL part time from September to appear more attractive to employers, would you recommend doing the L3 also, or just then searching for apprenticeships?
Hi Jack, our next 8 at 8 video is all about this topic!
A couple years ago, it was very hard to get your foot in the door. Now the electric company I work for can't find anybody to work. They are also paying a lot more than when I first started. I live in the states and there is definitely a labor shortage but I don't understand why.
Thanks for sharing your experience! So glad you have found a job with a great company! Well done!
The minimum wage is raising the barrier to entry almost impossibly high for apprentices. Companies need someone who can hit the ground running, learn fast and be cash positive for the business ASAP. Gone are the days when an apprentice was an incidental expense that you didn't miss, they are now a major bottom line expense and the schools, colleges and trade bodies are simply not doing anything to prepare or direct talent into the technical trades so we're left with oceans of poor quality candidates to risk tens of thousands of pounds of our own capital training up to maybe stick around if they turn out to be good enough. It's a real problem.
We must all eat sleep and travel no matter what we are.
Companies are given licence by society to serve society in return for a profit.
@@adamanthony7465 yes dear boy but in the private sector an employee must generate more revenue than they consume or the business suffers that is unless unless the business is of such a scale that a trainees wage is an incidental expense. Business is a percentage game.
@@theghostofsirjohnharveyjon8730 business is a relationship game..leaders must encourage relationship...take risks and work through training programs abd apprenticeship to improve the productivity of their assets
@@adamanthony7465 when a trainees wage might equate to 25% or more of a small firms weekly revenue it's just a little bit too risky and hence why apprentice positions are as rare as a good looking electricians.
Could you also give us some advice for those who can't do an apprenticeship i am 33yrs old going through a career change. its not possible for me to do an apprenticeship as I have got bills to pay.Thanks.
I'm in exact same situation, trying to change my career but need at least as much money as I make now to make ends meet. Apprenticeship won't let me survive. How viable is to do the course, get the card and try to find a electricians mate job to get experience? Are electricians even interested on taking mates without much experience? I'm also willing to volunteer some hours if necessary just to get into it. Much appreciate any advice.
Hi Striker, our next 8 At 8 Video is on this topic and should be dropping end of this week 👍
@@artisanelectrics Thanks looking forward to it.
I would like to try it. Very Amazing Video! Thumbs up! Cheers!
As an apprentice trained tradesman, you will never go to work in a suit and tie dressed like a school kid, so dont wear one to an interview wear smart clean casual clothes, ask questions, about training/college/pay/holidays/tools and tool allowance to buy them, and listen to answers.
Be yourself, and smile,explain why you want to do an apprenticeship as opposed to office or factory/ shop work,explain relevant experience, family in a trade, out of work hobbies and skills are all relevant shows you dont sit at home watching games or tv all night.
Research the company youre applying to join, what they do, where they work,how long established etc.
When you get the job, keep a diary of what you did ,where you worked, who you worked with and what you learnt, either detailed each week or basic notes each night.
As Jordan said switch off mobile, so annoying to fellow trades people and who evers house youre working at if youre on a phone, keep boots clean, look smart and tidy, treat customers homes with respect,never open cupboards or drawers to have a looksie. Stuff you see in customers homes should be kept confidential dont brag to your mates about expensive stuff youve seen.
Finally learn how to make a cup of tea or coffee for your workmates, it helps with workmate bonding.
I am not sure why one should be an electrician, have spent about half my life doing electrical work. Served an electrical apprenticeship with the supply authority starting when the 14th edition metric had just come out. I ended as an electrician in the NHS my wages were never much more than the value of the national minimum wage, have I missed something? At the age of 70 I am familiar with most of the things in the videos (except car charging of course). I am now retired with a pension a little more than my last pay packet which has to be an achievement. Strangest thing I have seen recently on a local authority owned building was the incoming gas supply bonded to earth on the lightening conductor, would like to see the test report on that installation
I am eager to acquire knowledge and embark on a successful career as an electrician. Although I lack practical experience in this field, I am highly motivated and dedicated. I do not have any connections or acquaintances in the industry, so I would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying reputable companies that offer electrician apprenticeship programs. If you are acquainted with any such companies, kindly inform me.

Oops better not let anyone see my latest tiktok then 😆😆😆
❤ 6:52 WRONG ! i could prove you by repeatedly asking same basic question - that would definitely trigger you after while!
in your head you would have 'is he really that thick?' ❤
Haha you are correct that might test the patience of a potential employer somewhat
What ever you do apprentices do don’t get a job with artisan 😂
You sound like lord sugar 😂😂😂😂🍺🍺
😎
Clean shaven? Don’t think I’d want to work for somebody who would base their decision on whether I have a beard or not 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Not just spell check but grammar too , your-- possession, you’re---- abbreviation for you are. One of the most infuriating mistakes most commonly made.
5:03 you have chap with ear-spacers!
and others with tattoos... i as customer would notice
I wouldn't care what a spark looks like (as long as his personal hygeine is ok), it's his ability to do the job that counts. Tattoos, piercings etc. seem to be part of popular culture these days.
What’s with this studio set it looks tacky
Thanks.
