People training in a vocational centre, practicing hands-on electrical work. The title "NVQ Level 3 Qualification: Pathways and Career Benefits" is displayed on top.

Introduction

As a seasoned electrician and lecturer with 40 years of experience, I’ve seen how crucial the NVQ Level 3 qualification is in the electrical industry. This work-based certification validates an electrician’s competence in real jobs, not just in theory​

Whether you’re a newcomer, starting an apprenticeship or a veteran installer without formal qualifications, an NVQ Level 3 opens the door for you. It is often a must-have for progressing from trainee to fully qualified electrician – in fact, completing NVQ Level 3 (along with the AM2 skills test) is a requirement to obtain the ECS Gold Card that lets you work unsupervised on most sites​

Achieving this qualification brings tangible career benefits: you can join professional schemes (NICEIC, NAPIT, etc.), take on more complex jobs, and even command higher earnings as a recognised qualified electrician​

In short, NVQ Level 3 is a pivotal milestone for anyone serious about a long-term career in electrical installation.

Understanding NVQ Level 3 Qualifications

What is an NVQ?

NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification. It’s a competency-based certification earned through practical performance rather than exams. In the context of electrical work, an NVQ Level 3 demonstrates that you have the hands-on skills and knowledge to perform electrical installations safely and to industry standards​

Unlike classroom-only courses where you might simply pass written tests, an NVQ requires you to prove your abilities on the job – you build a portfolio of real work evidence, and an assessor evaluates your competency in real-world tasks.

Classroom vs. On-Site Assessment:

Traditional electrical qualifications (like college diplomas or technical certificates) focus on teaching theory and some simulated practice in workshops. The NVQ, however, is assessed on-site through your actual work projects. You won’t be sitting in a lecture about wiring a consumer unit – you’ll be wiring one in a real building and documenting it. For example, you might submit photos of an installation, complete test certificates, or get a supervisor’s witness statement verifying you carried out a task correctly​

This on-the-job approach makes the NVQ a true measure of your competence: it verifies that you don’t just know the regulations and techniques – you can apply them in homes, offices, or industrial sites under real conditions.

Why is NVQ Level 3 essential for electricians?

In the UK, NVQ Level 3 (in Electrical Installation or Maintenance) is considered the benchmark for a qualified electrician. It’s the final piece of the puzzle after you’ve learned the trade basics. Industry bodies and employers recognise NVQ 3 as proof that you can work to professional standards without direct supervision​

For instance, to register as an Approved Electrician or join a Competent Person Scheme (so you can self-certify domestic work), you’ll typically need NVQ 3. It’s also aligned with the requirements for the JIB/ECS Gold Card, which is essentially your license to operate freely on commercial and construction sites​

In practical terms, having an NVQ Level 3 boosts your credibility – clients and companies know you’ve been rigorously assessed. It also keeps you versatile: with this qualification, you can pursue advanced courses (like solar PV, EV charger installation, or inspection and testing qualifications) since you’ve met the core competency prerequisites​

In summary, the NVQ isn’t just another certificate – it’s the industry’s way of ensuring electricians are properly trained, tested, and ready for the demands of the job.

If you’re considering additional training beyond the NVQ Level 3, there are many other electrical courses available that can enhance your skills and expand your career options. From inspection and testing qualifications to renewable energy installations, finding the right course can give you a competitive edge in the industry.

NVQ Level 3 Pathways in Electrical Installations

There are several pathways to attain an NVQ Level 3 in electrical installation, tailored to different levels of experience. All of them lead to the same Level 3 achievement, but the route you choose will depend on whether you’re just entering the trade, already mid-training, or an experienced worker seeking accreditation. Below, we break down three common NVQ Level 3 pathways – including who they’re for, what to expect, and typical costs and durations for each.

Level 3 NVQ Electrical Installations (2357)

Who is this course for?

The City & Guilds 2357 NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installations is the traditional route for aspiring electricians. It’s designed for those with less than five years of industry experience who are usually in a formal training program​

Often, this is the path non-experienced/apprenticeship students follow. For example, if you’ve completed (or are completing) your Level 2 and Level 3 electrical diplomas (such as C&G 2365) and have started working on-site, the 2357 lets you progress to full qualification. It’s also suitable for adult trainees who have done the classroom learning and now need to prove their on-site skills. In short, if you’re relatively new but have a foundation of electrical knowledge, 2357 is likely your route.

What to expect from this qualification?

The 2357 NVQ isn’t a conventional “course” with classes – it’s an assessment process of your competence. You’ll compile a portfolio of evidence while working on real electrical jobs. Expect to be covering a comprehensive range of tasks: installing different types of circuits and containment, terminating cables, inspection and testing, fault diagnosis, and so on, across domestic, commercial, or industrial projects. An assessor will be assigned to you for guidance​

You’ll gather evidence like photos of your work, installation certificates, and written job reports explaining how you carried out specific activities safely and in accordance with standards. Usually, the 2357 also requires completing the AM2 assessment – a practical exam in a simulated environment – once your portfolio is done. The AM2 is effectively the final unit of the NVQ that tests everything from wiring skills to testing and fault-finding under observation​

​By the end of the NVQ (portfolio + AM2), you will have demonstrated the full scope of skills required to be a qualified electrician, recognised with the Level 3 NVQ Diploma and eligibility for that all-important ECS Gold Card​

Cost and duration:

The timeframe to complete NVQ 2357 can vary widely. There’s no set course length – it depends on how quickly you can gather evidence of all required tasks. As a guideline, many students finish it in about 6 to eighteen months​. If you have access to a broad variety of work (different install types, three-phase systems, etc.), you might complete sooner; if your work is repetitive or limited in scope, it could take longer​

In terms of cost, prices for enroling in the NVQ (through a training provider who will register and assess you) costs £1,749 ​in our training centre,

This often does not include the cost of the AM2 exam itself, which is usually an additional ~£700–£800 + VAT​

Some employers cover these costs for their apprentices, or if you’re an adult trainee you might pay out-of-pocket or get funding. Always check what’s included in the fee – for instance, whether on-site assessor visits are extra. Despite the investment, completing the 2357 NVQ is worth it: it’s the capstone that turns your earlier training into an industry-recognised qualification​.

NVQ Level 3 Electrotechnical Experienced Worker Course (2346)

Designed for experienced workers:

The C&G 2346-03 Experienced Worker NVQ is a pathway tailored for electricians who have substantial work experience (usually 5+ years) but never obtained the NVQ Level 3 through the traditional route​

If you’ve been “doing the job” for years – perhaps you started as an apprentice years ago but didn’t finish the portfolio, or you learned on the job and hold older qualifications (like a Level 2 diploma or 17th/18th Edition certificate) – this route is for you. It recognises that you likely already possess the skills; the goal is to formally document and assess your competence so you can be certified as a qualified electrician. Many in this category are already working as electricians but want the NVQ 3 to obtain their ECS Gold Card or to ensure their status is officially recognised for contracts and scheme memberships​

How does the Experienced Worker NVQ work?

The 2346 experienced worker course is largely self-paced and portfolio-based. Don’t expect classroom lessons – you won’t need them if you’re already experienced. Instead, you will compile evidence from your existing work. You’ll typically map out tasks you perform at work to the NVQ performance units (which cover similar ground to the 2357 units: health and safety, installation, maintenance, testing, etc.). For each unit, you gather evidence: for instance, if one unit requires demonstrating safe isolation and circuit installation, you might include a job report and photos of how you installed a new circuit in a consumer unit, along with a verification by a manager. An assessor will review your portfolio remotely (often via an online portal) and may arrange one or more on-site observations to witness you in action. Because you’re experienced, you might have a lot of evidence ready from past jobs – which can accelerate the process. After your portfolio is signed off, you’ll need to pass the AM2E (the AM2 assessment tailored for experienced workers) to complete the qualification​

This experienced-worker AM2E covers the same skills as the normal AM2, ensuring even seasoned electricians demonstrate current competence in a controlled test. Upon finishing the NVQ portfolio and AM2E, you achieve the Level 3 NVQ Diploma and become eligible for the ECS/JIB Gold Card just like those who went through apprenticeships​

Course details and costs:

One advantage of the 2346 route is flexibility – there’s no fixed schedule. You can start anytime and progress at your own pace, fitting it around your work commitments. Some complete it in just a few months (especially if they already have a lot of evidence and only need to fill a few gaps), while others might take up to a year. Providers typically set an upper time limit (often 12–18 months) to complete, but this is usually ample for an active electrician. In terms of entry requirements, you’ll need to prove your experience (often via references or CV) and usually must have your 18th Edition wiring regs certificate and an inspection and testing qualification (or attain them during the NVQ)​

Cost-wise, the experienced worker NVQ is comparable to the standard NVQ: expect roughly £1539 for the NVQ assessment itself​ plus around £900 for the AM2E exam fee​

Different training centers offer packages – some include assessor site visits, some charge extra for any needed training on regs or testing qualifications. It’s worth shopping around. The key benefit is that by investing in this process, you convert your years of hard-earned skills into an official qualification. For a seasoned electrician, that can mean finally getting your “fully qualified” status acknowledged, opening up opportunities for more contracts, higher pay, or supervisory roles that require an NVQ Level 3 credential.

City & Guilds Level 3 Domestic Electrical Installer Course (NVQ 2347-03)

Who should take this course?

The C&G 2347-03 Electrotechnical Qualification in Dwellings (often called the Domestic Electrician NVQ) is a new pathway aimed at those working specifically in domestic settings. It’s an experienced worker route like the 2346, but focused on household electrical installations. If you have at least three years of experience installing and maintaining electrics in homes (and perhaps small businesses) but never did an apprenticeship, this route offers a way to gain a Level 3 qualification tailored to your scope​

It’s ideal for someone who perhaps started as a domestic installer, got their Part P registration, and has been wiring houses, but now wants the formal NVQ without needing to cover industrial systems that they may never encounter. In other words, it acknowledges domestic specialists and gives them a chance to certify their skills at Level 3 within the dwelling context.

How is 2347-03 different from other NVQs?

The structure of the domestic NVQ is similar to the standard experienced worker NVQ – you’ll build a portfolio of evidence from your jobs, which are assessed against the required competencies. The big difference lies in the content: the assessments will focus on single-phase installations, typical domestic circuit types, and the specific knowledge relevant to dwellings (for example, you won’t need to demonstrate 3-phase distribution board work or large-scale containment systems, which are required in the full-scope NVQ). The qualification covers health and safety, installing and testing wiring systems in homes, and ensuring compliance with building regulations, among other things​

You will still need an assessor to verify your work (often via an online portfolio system), and like the others, there is a specialised final assessment known as the AM2ED (AM2 assessment for Domestic) to test your practical skills in a controlled setting​

Passing the AM2ED and completing the portfolio proves you can do all the critical tasks of a domestic electrician to the national standard.

Qualification outcome and costs:

Upon completion of the NVQ 2347-03 and the AM2ED, you’ll be recognised as a qualified Domestic Electrician. Importantly, this meets the criteria for an ECS Domestic Electrician Gold Card, a credential that certifies you for work in residential settings​

The industry will view you as having an equivalent competence to someone who completed a traditional domestic apprenticeship​

However, note that this is a more restricted scope than the full ECS Gold Card for installation electrician – the domestic card is intended for those who work only in dwellings. If your career may expand beyond houses (into commercial or industrial work), you might eventually need the full NVQ 2357/2346 route; but if you plan to remain a domestic specialist, 2347-03 is an efficient choice.

In terms of cost, the domestic NVQ route is priced similarly to the experienced-worker NVQ (on the order of £1,489 total, including VAT, for the portfolio assessment, plus additional fees for the AM2ED exam). The duration is likewise flexible – many complete it within 6-12 months. As with all NVQs, you’ll need to hold a Level 2 electrical diploma or equivalent and relevant certificates (18th Edition, etc.) before you can be awarded the NVQ​

​Overall, the 2347-03 path is a welcome option for domestic electricians to gain certification and career recognition without having to navigate requirements that don’t apply to their line of work.

What to Expect When Taking an NVQ Level 3 Course

NVQ Level 3 programs are not your typical classroom courses – they are heavily centered on what you do on the job. You should be prepared for a mix of practical assessments, on-site evaluations, and a fair bit of documentation (portfolio building). Here’s an overview of what the journey looks like and how to make the most of it:

  • Work-Based Assessments and Portfolio: The core of any NVQ Level 3 (whether 2357, 2346, or 2347) is compiling a portfolio of evidence. This means as you carry out electrical work, you will record what you did and how you did it. Expect to include things like photographs of your installations, step-by-step write-ups (reflective accounts) of tasks you’ve completed, test results and certificates for jobs, and witness testimony from supervisors or clients confirming your work quality​You might also have some knowledge questions or short exams to cover underpinning theory, but the emphasis is on evidence from real jobs. An assessor (usually assigned by your training provider or institution) will guide you on what evidence is needed for each unit and will review your submissions. Many providers use online e-portfolio systems where you upload files and descriptions for each required criteria. As you progress, your assessor may schedule visits to observe you working on-site for key tasks (e.g. observing you doing an installation or testing a circuit). Don’t be intimidated by the documentation – think of it as telling the story of your work. Each piece of evidence demonstrates a skill: bending conduit, installing a consumer unit, performing safe isolation, etc. Over time, these pieces come together to show you can do all aspects of the electrician’s role competently.
  • Support and Resources: Even though an NVQ is self-driven in many ways, you’re not on your own. Training providers typically offer support through an assigned NVQ assessor or mentor who can answer questions and keep you on track​ It’s a good idea to communicate regularly with them – they can clarify criteria you might be unsure about and suggest how to gather evidence for tricky parts. Some assessors might conduct an initial briefing or workshop on how to build your portfolio. You may also have access to online resources or sample portfolios. If you’re doing the NVQ alongside others (e.g. in an apprenticeship group), you can share experiences and tips with your peers. Additionally, leverage your workplace mentors or experienced colleagues: they can provide witness statements and also help ensure you get exposure to the variety of tasks you need. Many candidates find certain units (like fault diagnosis or commissioning) hard to evidence if their day job is narrow – in such cases, your employer’s support in rotating you through different jobs can be invaluable. Remember, the NVQ process is well-established, so there’s plenty of guidance available. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you’re unsure how to demonstrate a particular skill. Providers want you to succeed and will usually offer feedback as you upload evidence. Take that feedback seriously and improve your submissions accordingly.
  • Challenges and How to Overcome Them: Balancing an NVQ with regular work (and life) can be challenging. One common hurdle is time management – it’s easy to push off working on your portfolio when you’re busy on the tools all day. The key is to chip away at it consistently. Set aside time each week to write up what you did on the job and sort your evidence (doing it soon after the work is done, while details are fresh, is best). Another challenge can be ensuring you cover the full range of required competencies. If your job tends to be repetitive (say you only do kitchen rewires every day), you might need to seek out or simulate other experiences (perhaps arrange a short secondment to another department, or work with a friend on a different project) to gather missing evidence​. It’s also normal to find the paperwork side daunting if you’re more practically inclined. To overcome this, use templates and examples – many providers supply a format for writing job reports or recording risk assessments; follow those to make sure you hit the points the assessors need. Keep your writing clear and concise, focusing on how you carried out the task and met safety and quality standards. If a particular unit is giving you trouble (for instance, fault-finding can be hard to capture if things rarely go wrong on your watch), talk to your assessor; they might accept evidence from a simulated scenario or professional discussion to cover it. Lastly, the AM2 (or AM2E/AM2ED) at the end is a big practical exam, which can be stressful. Overcome this by preparing well: there are practice guides and even preparatory courses for the AM2. Treat it like a day at work where you must demonstrate best practices methodically – if you’ve been doing your job well, it’s simply about performing under observation. In my experience, candidates who engage regularly with the NVQ process – asking questions, steadily collecting evidence, and seeking variety in work – not only pass more smoothly but also emerge as more well-rounded electricians. It’s a challenging journey at times, but very rewarding once you finish and realise how much you’ve accomplished.

Frequently Asked Questions About NVQ Level 3 Qualifications

Q: How long does it take to complete an NVQ Level 3?
A: It varies per person. On average, many electricians complete their NVQ Level 3 in about 6 to 12 months, but it can range wider depending on circumstances​

For example, an worker who is consistently gathering evidence might finish within a year, whereas someone doing it part-time or lacking exposure to certain types of work might take up to 18 months or even 2 years. The speed largely depends on how quickly you can cover all the required tasks for the portfolio. If your work experience is broad and you’re diligent in documenting everything, you could finish faster. Conversely, if you need to wait to encounter certain kinds of installations or if you procrastinate on writing up your evidence, it will take longer. The good news is the timeline is flexible – you’re not in a race, and you can progress at a pace that balances with your job. Many training providers allow up to 18-24 months enrolment for the NVQ to give candidates leeway to complete comfortably. The key is steady and consistent progress; a last-minute sprint is tough in an NVQ because you need real work evidence. So, plan for several months of effort and you’ll get there in due course.

Q: Can I do an NVQ Level 3 without experience?
A: By its nature, an NVQ Level 3 is a proof of experience – so you do need access to real work situations. If you have zero experience, you wouldn’t be able to directly complete an NVQ because there’d be no work to assess. Typically, newcomers first gain experience through training programs or entry-level jobs before or alongside starting the NVQ. For instance, you might enrol in a Level 2/3 diploma course at college (which gives you theoretical knowledge and maybe some practical workshops), and then do the NVQ once you also have a job or apprenticeship to supply the on-site evidence. Some people do a bridging route: they get initial training in electrical installation (in class), perhaps do some domestic installer courses, and then as soon as they secure employment in the field, they begin the NVQ process. If you’re not already working, you can’t generate the portfolio evidence an NVQ requires​

However, you can start an NVQ if you line up some form of work placement or if you are in a trainee position. In summary, you don’t necessarily need years of experience to begin – even apprentices start their NVQ while gaining experience – but you do need to be in a role where you can perform and record real electrical work. If you’re completely new to the trade, focus first on getting your foundational training and a foot in the industry door (even as an assistant or laborer), then tackle the NVQ when you have some projects under your belt. The NVQ is there to document what you can do, so build up that practical ability through experience, and the NVQ will follow naturally.

Q: What are the career benefits after obtaining this qualification?
A: Gaining an NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation is a game-changer for your career. First, it certifies you as a fully qualified electrician, which immediately boosts your employability. You’ll be eligible for the ECS Gold Card, which is often a passport to work on large contractor sites and commercial projects that require proof of qualification​

With NVQ 3, you can also sign up with Competent Person Schemes (if you plan to do domestic work and self-certify under Building Regulations) – schemes like NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA highly value the NVQ as evidence of competence. In terms of job opportunities, you’ll find you can apply for a wider range of roles: many employers list “NVQ Level 3” or “JIB Gold Card” as a requirement for electrician positions. This could mean moving up from an improver or mate position to an electrician role, or from electrician to site supervisor down the line. There’s also a clear earning potential benefit: qualified electricians tend to earn higher wages than unqualified or semi-skilled workers, since they can take on more responsibility and work independently​

If you’re contracting or running your own business, being fully qualified lets you take on bigger jobs and assures clients you meet industry standards. Additionally, the NVQ Level 3 can be a springboard to further professional development. With it, you can pursue advanced qualifications (like design, renewable technologies, or higher-level diplomas) or specializations (like Hazardous area installations or High Voltage work) – many of which require you to be a qualified electrician as a baseline. Overall, the NVQ Level 3 unlocks the “next level” of your career: greater credibility, more job options, potential for better pay, and the personal satisfaction of being recognised as a competent professional.

Q: What is the difference between the 2357, 2346, and 2347-03 courses?
A: These codes refer to different pathways to achieve an NVQ Level 3 in electrotechnical work, geared toward different situations:

  • C&G 2357 – This is the standard NVQ diploma typically undertaken by apprentices and new entrants. It combines the on-site NVQ assessment with technical theory units (often the apprenticeship’s college portion). It’s designed for those who have less than 5 years of experience and are in the process of training​. If you’re going through a formal apprenticeship or just finished your Level 3 classroom training, 2357 is the route to gather your site evidence and qualify.
  • C&G 2346 – This is the Experienced Worker Route NVQ. It’s intended for seasoned electricians with 5 or more years of industry experience who never got the NVQ qualification​. The 2346 focuses on assessing your existing skills through a portfolio and is usually taken standalone (no additional theory classes, since someone at this level is assumed to know the trade). It’s sometimes called the “mature candidate” or “experienced worker” NVQ. Essentially, 2346 exists so that an electrician who’s been practicing for years can become officially certified without starting from scratch.
  • C&G 2347-03 – This is the Domestic Electrician NVQ (Electrotechnical in Dwellings). It’s a newer pathway for those who work only on domestic installations. It targets experienced domestic installers with at least three years’ experience in household electrics​. The 2347-03 assesses competence in the scope of residential work (single-phase systems, typical home wiring, etc.) and leads to a qualification equivalent to a Level 3, but specific to dwellings. Think of it as a specialised NVQ for domestic-only electricians, as opposed to the broader scope of 2357 or 2346 which cover commercial and industrial tasks as well.

All three pathways result in a Level 3 qualification, but the journey and scope differ. 2357 is part of the comprehensive training/apprenticeship route, 2346 is a retrofit assessment for veterans in the field, and 2347-03 is a niche route for domestic-focused electricians. Choosing the right one depends on your background: new learner (2357), experienced general electrician (2346), or experienced domestic specialist (2347-03).

Q: What is the best NVQ Level 3 course for me?
A: The answer depends on your current experience and career goals. Here are some guidelines:

  • If you’re just starting out or have only a couple of years in the trade (possibly with a college diploma under your belt), the best path is the NVQ 2357 or whatever the current apprenticeship NVQ is called (some newer apprenticeship frameworks have different codes, but they’re equivalent to 2357). This will integrate with your ongoing training and ensure you cover the full range of skills. Essentially, follow the apprentice route to get a well-rounded qualification.
  • If you’re already an experienced electrician (say, you’ve been working 5+ years doing electrical jobs but never got formally qualified), the NVQ 2346 Experienced Worker route is likely best. It will credit the knowledge and skills you’ve accumulated and focus on assessing what you can do. This way you won’t sit through basic training you don’t need; instead, you’ll spend time compiling evidence of the work you’re already capable of. It’s the quickest way for a competent but uncertified electrician to get that Level 3 qualification.
  • If your work has been exclusively in the domestic sector and you plan to stay in that arena, you might consider the NVQ 2347-03 (Domestic) route. This is ideal if you foresee your career centered on household wiring (perhaps as a self-employed domestic installer or working for a firm that only does homes). The advantage is you won’t need to demonstrate industrial/commercial competencies that aren’t relevant to you. However, keep in mind this is somewhat specialised – if there’s a chance you’ll move into commercial work later, you may prefer doing the full-scope NVQ (2357/2346) to keep all options open.
  • If you’re still unsure, a good step is to speak with a training advisor or a qualified mentor. They’ll consider factors like: Do you already have the Level 2 and 3 knowledge certificates? How many years have you been doing electrical work? What kind of installations are you involved in? What are your career aspirations (e.g. site work, domestic only, supervisory roles)? Generally, new entrants = 2357, seasoned pros = 2346, domestic-only = 2347, but there can be nuances. The “best” NVQ is the one that aligns with your experience level and gets you the qualification without unnecessary hurdles.

Remember, all roads lead to a Level 3 NVQ – it’s just about taking the road that fits you so you can succeed. No matter which path you choose, you’ll end up with that credible certification that will benefit your career.

Conclusion

In conclusion, pursuing an NVQ Level 3 qualification is one of the smartest moves you can make in your electrical career. It’s the bridge between knowing the trade and being recognised as a true professional. We’ve discussed various pathways – from the 2357 apprentice route to experienced-worker options like 2346 and the domestic-focused 2347-03 – and each serves a specific group. The key is to choose the NVQ path that matches your experience and future plans. As someone who has worked in this industry for four decades, I can attest that the effort and dedication required to earn your NVQ Level 3 pay off enormously. It not only validates your skills to employers and clients but also boosts your confidence to take on bigger challenges. By obtaining this qualification, you’re investing in yourself and laying a foundation for continuous growth (whether that means starting your own business, moving up to supervisory roles, or specializing in emerging fields like renewable energy).

If you’re an aspiring electrician, I wholeheartedly encourage you to go for it – dive into the training, get that on-site experience, and complete your NVQ. And if you’re already in the field wondering if it’s worth doing the NVQ after years of work, the answer is yes: formalise your expertise and unlock those next-level opportunities. The NVQ Level 3 is more than a certificate on the wall; it’s a testament to your hard work, skill, and professionalism. In an ever-evolving electrical industry, staying qualified and competent is crucial. By choosing the right NVQ Level 3 pathway for you and following through, you’re setting yourself up for a rewarding and secure career as a qualified electrician. Good luck on your journey – the skills you gain and the recognition you earn will light the way for years to come.
