Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

As an electrical or electronics technician, you’ll use your engineering know-how to design, build and maintain electrical and electronic components and systems. Learn more about a career in electrics and electronics, find out what it involves and what you’ll need to study and do to get a role.
You’ll want to use your entry-level role as an electrical or electronics technician to gain a broad range of on-the-job experience and take advantage of further training opportunities. You may then choose to specialise in an area that interests you like mobile phone technology or robotics.
Once you’ve gained considerable experience, you could progress to a management role as a project team leader, maintenance manager or quality control manager.
With further training, you could become an engineer and gain incorporated or chartered status. This could open more job opportunities abroad as UK engineering qualifications are recognised in most countries.
Alternatively, you might go into teaching to train new learners.
Professional organisations you might join include the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
