Depending on the country you are in, it shouldn't be that hard to become a certified electrician.
Granted, I have a degree in electrical engineering, but certification was not part of that degree. I got the certification at a night school, IIRC it took 2 months with about ~5 hours per week in effort. If you don't have experience with electronics it would obviously take a bit more effort, but it's totally doable.
- electricslpnsld 8y agoI've considered it! Our local community college offers classes like this for pretty cheap, maybe when I'm done with the current place.
- etatoby 8y agoBesides, I've fixed / expanded / rearranged my own electrical wiring more than once (which is legal here without a license, if you do it on own property for non-commercial purposes) and I didn't use any of my electronics knowledge. You just need to know what the wire colors mean, employ some basic safety procedures, and don't do stupid things with wire size and currents.
- ComputerGuru 8y agoWell the first rule of electrical work is to assume an idiot or a cheapskate did the original work (or most recent repair) and the colors have a fifty-fifty chance of lying to you...
