If the only qualification you have is your 17th, most places will laugh you out the door. Its not a case of just doing that and you are an electrician unfortunately.
Alternatively, , BMS
Yup, not ever going to call myself an electrician of the back of a 3 day course (booked for Monday btw will update how that turns out!)
It is seen as a great thing to have for project manager roles that you've kind of highlighted Niall.
Bloody hard? 2 minutes per question with the answer book infront of you? You have to know your beans for sure! But keep a cool head and you should not be calling it bloody hard? That's reserved for the further courses Cully has done!
I'm doing BMS kind of work currently, and can see that moving further into this area opens loads of doors, there are no good people going through them currently! good to build on a strong base of 'known' qualifications, no-one has heard of the BMS quals (if there are any)
