I discovered a passion for technical problem-solving when I was working at Amazon's Fulfilment Centre in Dunfermline. While working with automated systems and troubleshooting technical issues there, I realised I had a growing interest in electrical engineering.
So, I enrolled in the Engineering Systems (Renewable Energy) National Certificate course, delivered in the Shell Energy Transition Skills Hub at Fife College’s Rosyth Campus. The course gave me the practical experience and theoretical knowledge I needed to pursue a career in the renewable energy sector.
The course was a massive benefit to me as it taught me a lot about myself in terms of what I want to do in the future. I’ve learnt many things that I never had experience with before, including the Electrical Principles theories and how electricity actually works. I especially enjoyed the blend of theory and hands-on experience.
The best part of the course was being able to develop my practical wiring skills even more. I also learnt the impact that humans can have on the globe in terms of carbon emissions and the climate. I’ve gained a greater appreciation for our planet because of this.
In the long run, I eventually want to become a self-employed electrician. I would recommend this course if you’re prepared to learn a range of new skills and would wish for further education in the future.
