Started my course at 28, worked 7 days a week, 2 jobs and evening classes at college with a new born….was rough but well worth it.
how is everything working out for u now?
What other job did you work while working as an apprentice?
Possibly one of the unsung heroes of the excellent highly professional Artisan Electrics team is your current cameraman Max. It's not that easy to shoot a continuous live event in often difficult to film venues and end up with watchable pictures, good quality sound and a well edited highly watchable final product. Obviously Jordan understands this and realises how much it benefits his channel and company profile and it's worth paying to get the job done properly. PS. Dont know Max!
Thank you 🙏
Whoever did that colour match on the door needs their eyes checked 😂
Wagos 221 can be used in a Maintenance free location in the wago box 221-4 but current capacity in limited to 20A (manufacturers instructions)
I completed the original 2360 pt1/2 almost 20 years ago, little did the naive 16yr old me realise quite the rollercoaster of fun electrics brings! All theses years later and I still love it. KNOWLEDGE IS KEY and you never stop learning in this game. Great Vids and keep it up!
Good job Luke. I'm 32 years old and in the 1st year of my electrical apprenticeship here in Ireland and love it. Love the channel also guys, have learnt a lot from your videos.
Glad you're enjoying your course! Thanks for the support on the channel!
Fair play im looking to start my apprenticeship just turned 30 looking to get my foot in door . How are you finding it ?
Hi Luke, where about a in Ireland are you doing your apprenticeship? I’m looking to start my electrical course as well.
38 year old Australian woman here, I started my Certificate II in Electrotechnology on the 4th of January, I am enjoying studying again and I am hoping to get an apprenticeship soon and starting my Cert III.
Amazing!
I recently immigrated to the USA (exactly 1 year ago), and I am retraining to become an Electrician (it takes a 5 years apprenticeship to do so) I am 30 years old doing a career switch from IT, I just hated the corporate world and sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, this trade is amazing and it gives me so much job satisfaction, there are hard days when I need to dig trenchs or crawl in hot attics, but I still love it.
Thanks for the amazing content
Awesome to hear the discussion about Luke's training route. I am very seriously considering doing a similar thing. Been bouncing around different trades for a while, but really attracted to the very logical and methodical side of electrical work. We'll see where the next couple years take me!
Cory, understand where you are coming from but I’ve enjoyed the video. It’s been worth watching. The candied chats you two had is important to see and will benefit so many up and coming electricians.
Keep up the great work gents.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi artisan team! I’m currently a level 1 in college in electrical installation and learned quite a lot I know now through this channel. Constantly trying to do harder things because you guys have helped me understand TN-S, TNC-S and TT setups, how to wire consumer units and different circuits and testing. You guys are awesome! I’ve learned so much through your videos and never plan to stop. Hope to see you guys on site one day.
Thanks for the support! Hope you're enjoying your course!
level 1 is for backwards my guy
@@joshwhittall7520 don’t forget; everyone starts somewhere
Cory, Luck good job. Well done Cory for getting the van fix. Nice to have some background on Luke as well.
fair play to luke,we have a lady whos in her 30s going to college 3 days a week then getting some on site experience with us, so I know how tough it is, especially with covid on top
Thanks for sharing the video it was awesome !
Looking forward to watch the video with the stair leds. You are great guys!
Hi Guys being a former Electrician and only started being an Electrician at 40 ( Still employed as a firefighter ) went to college and working free one or 2 days for Electricians to gain experience. I got my City & Guilds and after 3 years started my own business and never looked back, I have Retired in Thailand at the age of 50 and living in Thailand now for 10 years the Electrics are very poor here, I do electrical work for friends to keep my hand in. But being an Electrician you will never be out of work. I still love watching Electrical work ( is that sad ) loved the building your working in reminded me the barn I retired in France.
Good videos entertaining and quality editing. Well done.
Great story you have there! Thanks for your support on the channel!
It is great seeing Luke's progression as an adult learner and Reuben with the apprenticeships. I take my hat off to you guys for taking on Luke and giving him a go! Awesome work chaps!
Loving this channel! Keep up the great quality video's. Especially the variety from one episode to the next.
I've double checked though and you definitely can use the click type 221-4 wago connectors as maintenance free when used in a wago box. So not sure where you heard you can't?
Awesome, thank you! We have some bangers coming up in the next few days!
Colour mismatch on that van door is winding me up 😂
Hi guys! Great videos thus far! Quite a fan of the channel, editing etc.
Quick question if I may, do you guys ever complete any firestopping procedures during wiring installations? Just wanted to find out any rules/regulations for new builds etc.
Thank you for the official introduction to Luke. Great to see and encouraging. I am currently studying my Level 2 2365 at night college via the self funded route. It is a longer and expensive road, but hopefully worthwhile 😅
You can do it!
Greetings from Norway. I got my license at the age of 32 after working 12 years as a electrician assistant.
Now im planning on becoming an engineer before my knees give in. Love the job and this field of work is the only thing i find interesting, apart from my kids..
Love the channel, always fun to see how things differ from country to country. Best of luck to Luke.
Thanks for the support!
Im 34 and almost done re training for my level 3. It'll be nice to finish what I started.
Best of luck!
good entertaining video ,Cory and Luke i think we are all learning to be a adult
I always find it interesting when I see you guys using "maintenance free junction boxes" because we don't have any equivalent for that in Canada/America (at least for the most part).
In almost all situations, junction boxes must be accessible and cannot be hidden in walls/ceilings/etc., unless they have a path such as an access hatch or removable fixture in front of them.
I think like a lot of the differences we have, it comes back to building techniques. With wood framed walls (for the most part), the considerations are so totally different to plaster and block. So interesting to see the differences!
Also it would not be OK to do those lower gauge wiring ring circuits in the USA. The wire must match the beaker rating. I enjoy the channel but things like ring circuits make me cringe. Also it amazes me how few breakers are in a breaker box...or consumer unit in the UK.
2:40 Great job on the door I can't tell there's a difference. lol
Lever 221 wagos are maintenance free if you use a wagobox 221-4
Great content Guys , And By the way. I really like your VETO TP~XL bag 💼. Cory ⚡️👊
Thanks so much!
Great video guys. 😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Fair play to cory going out his way to get the van door fixed on the same day, not many employees would do that. What a top lad
Employees shouldn’t have to sort it, accidents happen and in my opinion he shouldn’t be spending his time or money fixing it! That should be down to the company
Went to an electrician crash course or whatever you wanna call it during last year and most people were around 30-40 with one person being close to 50.
Age shouldn't be a thing stopping oneself to wanna learn something new or even change field all together.
Probably not much coming from a young person but seeing as i got my first full education at 21 i feel like im pretty open to doing the same type of course again if i were to change field of work.
Another interesting video!! I have one question, obviously other sparks have been in there , how come on all the rewires or faults on newer installs is there no wiring plans !!! To be left with the consumer unit on completion of the job!! Have you ever thought about caping your back boxes with cardboard to stop the plasters from filling them up and turning it into a shit show !!! Lol
Ps still think u need to go on a drivers ed course!! 🤣🤣 we could do a job swap for a day !!!
Rgds your friendly neighbourhood trucker!!!!
I am doing my hardest to become an electrician at 60 and finding it a fight with no help. Wish I was 30 again
Great video, pity about the colour match on that new door
This maybe a daft question, but is it safe working in the attic without any shoes? Nice to have Cory back!
Not as much as jumping up on a 3 step step ladder! 😂
🙈🙈
@@Vwfan it's one of my pet hates, people not using adequate steps. Pure laziness. Sets me on edge that. Needless risk.
Well done lads, that job looks a bit of nightmare and how come there has been so many electricians involved on this job? Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks! Cowboys got in there before us so now we’re sorting everything out!
@@artisanelectrics Isn't it always the way. Good on you for saving the day Artisan lads.
I retrained at 32 from being a computer engineer. Never looked back.
Im in IT, 32 and wondering the same thing!
@@JamesCollins90 you want to change from IT to a Trade ?
@@carlmalone7913 it’s crossed my mind.
@@JamesCollins90 I did it at 32/33. Hard work but much more job satisfaction 👍
I've done the 2356 level 2 & 3 at college when I left school, I then proceeded to do my EAL initial verification + inspection & testing. I'm currently working as an electrician mate about to head on and start my NVQ level 3. Its so tough when you haven't been given the opportunity of an apprenticeship our route to becoming qualified is longer 😫 but hopefully it does pay off in the end 🙌
How long is a electrical apprenticeship in the UK vs the college route?
Do UK Sparkys not offer a lot of apprenticeships?
Do they rather a college guy come in and have the theory down before starting?
Good luck finishing the course bro, worth it in the end.
@@ryandonnelly9096 apprenticeships are just hard to find because a lot of people want them
@@ryandonnelly9096 it's difficult to find an apprenticeship but it's never a 0% just try your best to find one. Going through the apprenticeship route you can qualify to become an electrician in 3-4 years with experience on site including qualifications and a job at the company you've worked with to gain your apprenticeship. If you don't get this opportunity then you'll have to just work a little harder, you'll need to go to college and complete your level 2 & 3 course. After I finished college I then went on to do my 17th edition regs and my EAL testing & inspection + initial verification course and gained my certificate. After college You'll then need to get an ECS card to work for companies/contractors and gain experience bonus is you'll get paid. Even though I had my ECS card I couldn't get work with big companies/contractors so I had to find work working for private self employed people for free as I had no experience on site. It took me nearly over a year to finally start getting paid as I gained value. As I was working as an electrician mate I realised I wasn't fully qualified unless you do your NVQ level 3 + AM2 which determine your compatancy as an electrician, this is what I'm currently pursuing. I've bought myself a MFT1741 megger tester and self learning on Jobs I've completed when on site with electricians.
Becoming a full fledged electrician without having the opportunity to gain an apprenticeship is difficult but I believe this struggle will end up giving me the advantage in the future. If you're keen know becoming an electrician and can't get an apprenticeship and deciding to go through the college route then get ready and don't give up. 👍
It not longer
Can do the level 2&3 in a year
Nqv can be done in 6-12 months
@@ryandonnelly9096 4years
Self funded route is about 2 years
That doors not the same colour
Was there any electrical work going on? I was just mesmerised by the lunch 😍
Mouthwatering right?
@@artisanelectrics definitely!!
Great knowledge as always, what wagos are required for MF joints?
These wagons are perfectly fine for use as m f with the matching wago box
Another good vid 👍 makes me wonder why the lever clamp Wagos can’t be classed as maintenance free ? They give a good solid connection and there’s no way they can work loose like screw terminal connector blocks will. Does it actually state that in the spec sheet ?
They are but you have to use a specific wagobox i think its wagobox 221-4
To be compliant as MF. Only Wago 221-412, 221-413 and 221-415 connectors are permitted for use with a Wagobox 221-4 in maintenance free locations. The 221 terminals are only rated to 20A and the wago box to an aggregate current of 50A.
On a ring each leg is design rated to carry a maximum of 20A current carrying capacity. So it's generally ok to use a Wago MF box for each leg. The same applies to a radial on a continuous leg back to the cu. Manufacture's instructions superceed iet regs.
Heard of that place food looks good, if you want a good cafe easy parking over at the Royston heath Heath Cafe Bar bacon rolls 👍👍
I thought the snap lever Wagos were maintenance free? i thought that was the point of them, they are spring loaded rather than relying on a screw terminal that can come loose
Luke is so lucky, i am at the same level as him, but finding someone to work with is near to impossible.
I have to ask, what do you mean people finish their college level 3 and set up their own company? How an you do that if you cannot sign anything off?
Cliff bars are really nasty too, Corey. I don't know if you have them in the UK, but we have them here in the US and they are nasty.
I’m 40 and just about to finish the Advanced Diploma Level 3 8202. I hope to find a job after to do my NVQ 3, hopefully somebody will have me………
use a stepladder that reaches the loft ,or a ladder ,not how you are doing it
So let me get this straight someone has decided that sprung screwless sealed junction boxes maintenance free but screw terminated ones are not.
I have seen tests that show wago lets go of cable at 20lbs i know with a screw terminal properly torqued you would probably break the cable first.
Wago are also much higher resistance connection with terrible contact interface.
23:37 That’s a dinky looking SDS - have the model number of it?
Is it me am I wrong the van door looks a slight lighter colour?
Hi what work light are you using??
Who colour matched the van door ? Stevie Wonder ?? 😂
Why not use your music as backing music for the video backing track just a thought 🤔😎
What's a new door and sprayed cost?
An electrician at 30 is amazing, How did Cory get his IQ up to 30 ? (He did say in a video he was looking for hate and couldn't find any)
Started mine at 29. Paramedic before that.
Ah its Monday. And Cory made it.
Although he now works for "san trics".
Back at Middle Earth again we continue with the barn retro fit . While touching on the subjects of college study, bag bartering and food. Check out the elect.install behind the guys while at the coffee shop. Burry St Edmonds sounds like a village in an Agetha Christie novel. And Cory's thoughts on the implications of installing shoddy work are true. That's why all the codes ,standards and regulations are in place. And why Liability Insurance is important.
All in all a nice mixed bag of issues for a Monday vlog.
Good one Cory.
Thanks!
Hope you sorted Cory out with the money for the door Jordon, Think you will have 2 good guy’s
What is Immediately wrong with a outside light on a 3036 with no rcd??
Im 42 and in my 2nd year of 2365
I'm 30 and my trade test is Wednesday. Scotland put you through an adult apprenticeship the same as a younger apprentice.
Good Luck! 🤞🏻
Is it just me or does it look like the van door does match? The body line isn’t the same underneath where the window hole is 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Great work ، I have a question how can I work in your team ? please answer me
Im hoping the company paid d for the van. Thats the risk you take for being the employer you make the big bucks so you take the risk and have the responsibility to repair stuff damaged by accident. At the end of the day it's no different to going through a pipe. You have insurance for these things or as the employer you bare the bill.
Why are you planning/routing tales through cavity? Is it actually allowed in regs?
Make that switch a 2 way.
I rang 22 electrician today. and not one would take a appreciated 🤔
I paid near on 8k to be an electrician fully qualified city and guilds and ev/pv courses. Currently work in data and security.
Have you found a sparky job now?

Shame the new doors a different colour 😅
Where can i get one of thous watches Cory?
Only 30? I’m 37 and looking to re-train as an electrician. Been in the metering industry for over 10 years and just want to re challenge myself and try something new.
Any advice?
Amazing, we'll be looking to make some more in-depth videos In the near future! 👍🏻
Amazing, we'll be looking to make some more in-depth videos In the near future! 👍🏻
Yeah, start working on site as a mate via an agency ....do your courses .....done it at 40.
I qualified at 38, now 39 and working as an electrical improver doing smoke extract systems.
Loads of work out there at the mo but was difficult to get my first role. Looking to start my NVQ (portfolio) in the next couple of months. It was very expensive but worth it in the end.
I bet Cory was relieved he didn't have to drive the new Electric VW van 😂
We think that still needs to happen...
Any particular reason why a comment regarding "snappy" Wago connectors would be deleted? The statement within the video was incorrect.
Not sure 🤔

Hay Cory I am after a good electrical bag you seam to have tried loads wot do you recommend and have you got any links
Probably to ask Nick Bundy lol
Veto Pro is the best
I think Cory should do a good review channel
What is wrong with loadout ☹️
Big Ass Fan
What wagos are you supposed to use in wago boxes for them to be MF then? Am I missing something?
The push in ones is my guess (non leavers )
If you read the paper instructions that come with the wago box, it will say what you are supposed to use i.e. wago 221s etc
Read instructions....are you mad 😁
There are two types of wago boxes you need to use the right ones with the right connectors
These look like the Wago 221-4 boxes so thought they would be okay to use with the Wago 221 connectors as maintenance free provided a tie-wrap is used. However, the installation instructions state max 20A connectors not 32A, so this might be the issue here.
Is that a potato in someone’s Michael Jackson sock?
Cory talking about Harvey Tyrrell is such a sad story. It was totally avoidable and shouldn't have happened.
Out of interest, are you allowed 4mm² radials on a 30A or 32A breaker in the UK?
In South Africa as far as I know we can only go up to 20A max for circuits with plug sockets.
Old wiring I've seen 30A and even a 40A circuit!
I forgot that we can also use a three phase circuit for sockets. So for example 5 core cable for washer, drier and dishwasher each on a socket fed off a different phase each and sharing the neutral, but MUST have a 3 pole 20A breaker in the DB.
All sockets is on a ring in the UK, so you can use a smaller size cable ....sockets are never on a radial circuit. From WW2 to save copper ...
@@reinerraymondo1586 wrong! We also use radials in the uk.
40% of all you do would not be allowed in America. From using a metal step stool/ladder , to possibly having junction boxes inaccessible . Still very enjoyable. You really need to come to America and check out how it’s done here.
Sure Nick Bundy will send you a bag Luke
The colour match on that van rear door is terrible, please get it repainted or blended my ocd can’t cope

Could I become a electrician at 45
What city & Guilds ..do I need ??
I've read different on various other sites .
Anyone ? Know ..
Thanks
I started the journey at 45. Age is just a number, I've now passed the EAL L3. I was in a class with mostly youths many of which took the mic because I was slow getting around because I had both my knees done at the start of the L2 course. In the classroom few could keep up with me, the same situation applied to the workshop. Those who took the mic I use to tell them to try to keep up with the old geeezer, this despite me having to use walking sticks due to my knee operations complications few could keep up with me. Never worry about things others say, they will put there own weaknesses and failures into their opinions. Speak to a tutor about your concerns, they will either answer your questions or be able to direct you to where you can find the answers. Dont worry about your age, I was older then half the electrical tutors at the college I went to, if your prepared to learn they will be only to happy to teach.🙂🙃👍
@@nickhickson8738 Go for it if you want. Only you can decide if something is right for you. Years ago I was on a gas training course with a grandpa who was learning to be a gas engineer to become self-employed to be able to help his grandson get practical experience on his plumbing course. Having a degree in physics will give you a theoretical advantage over most students.
Remember. If you need a car charger installed. Just call San Trics.
