I gained my first qualification (City & Guilds 433, part 1) in late 1971. Since then I obtained several certificates from Robert Bosch UK after attending refresher courses connected with their car radio & stereo products between 1972 & 1990, but never went on to study for the C&G 433, part 2. I stayed with the same small Auto Electrical firm for over 23 years until they closed down in'95. Since then I have been self-employed, supplementing the irregular income with part-time jobs outside the trade, and have now been officially retired for 9.5 years, though I still work part-time repiring radios, etc.
