[COLOR="Red"]So you are calling me a liar,[/COLOR]
You may think 6 years is a long time so do I but that’s how long it took, it does not matter the fact I am an EU citizen as the trade of electrician is regulated in Spain whereas in the UK it is not.
The second income helped as I have a family to support however it means that I work long hours 7 days a week, it’s not a case of having the luxury of a second income it’s about working hard to earn a living.
For a good tradesman it is still possible to earn a living here.

I SAID THAT I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE FROM S.AM WHO TOOK A LONG TIME TO SOR OUT PAPERS, BUT NOT SIX YEARS, THAT WAS ALL THAT I SAID.
I DID NOT SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE TAKE SO LONG IN SORTING PAPERS OUT SO YOU MUST BE LIAR, DID 1?
SO NEXT TIME WIND YOUR NECK IN, BEFORE POUNCING.

Re: Electrician wanting to work in Spain??
I know what you are saying, but for a UK qualified electrician to become homologadifacted, seems a ridiculous amount of time to me.
Starting to be a sparks from scratch does not even take that long to do, 6 YEARS, NO WAY.
I have known some S.Ams who have taken a long time to get their paper work sorted due to them not being in the EU, but nowhere near six years even for doctors and dentists.

you will notice i stated that it took me 6 years to get registered and you stated "6 years no way".
besides that i only commented on the thread because i have experience that could help tglass, and not for an argument.

Would it be possible for you to give tglass an idea of some of the "hoops" that you have had to jump through in order to become qualified in the Spanish system. Especially anything that is majorly different from qualifying in UK.
