To clarify, My A level Physics equivalent is an OND in Technology (from the late 1970s) A mish mash of Electronics, Elec Eng, Mech Eng, Materials Science, Fluid Dynamics, Maths and a bit of Economics thrown in.

I'm happy with the theory and practice of rigging a lighting bar from a Mechanical and Electrical perspective. I understand power factor, protective earth impedance, reactance, 3phase systems and rigging slings (though I've never had cause to use one)

 

Although I love learning, I think I'm a bit long in the tooth for a Teaching qualification (59 this year) or redoing my degree(which was out of date when I started). Unfortunately no BTEC here.

The ABTT courses look good, but I doubt I'll get time off to attend or persuade school to pay.

The Head of Lighting gets me a small allowance for a hell of a lot of work (admittedly very enjoyable) and I'm worried someone has worked out that sometimes I plug a table lamp into a 13A socket without a suitable qualification.
