Great video. Thanks!

Interesting. I work as an electrician in the UK and would say I'm around N3 level atm. I knew I could get certified to work in other commonwealth countries, but was more interested in moving to Japan 😂😂 Thanks for making this video

@@TheTampopoShow I see! Thanks for the reply. I did hear highly skilled worker visas can be obtained if you have around 10 years experience, but in my case it would actually be slightly quicker for me to get a degree 🤣

Thanks for watching (:

This is so interesting!

I can't really remember how I learned electrial work, I think I mostly picked it up through osmosis from reading, watching my Dad, leaflets at trade shows, and things. I only got my C&G in my 20s because in my computing work every now and then there was a problem where I'd say "oh, the wiring is loose, I'll just rewire this..." but people would panic "we're not insured!!!!"

Thanks for this video. I'm starting to learn Japanese to eventually retire to Japan, get my Electrical Licence ( currently in Australia) and rewire my home.I do a far amount of fire alarm systems and my favourite quick ringbark cable is to use a Cat 5/6 tool to score the outer sheathing thing snap it off.

Buddy, do you think UK or Australia Qualification can be recognised in Japan?

@@koonholee3056 From what I have heard, it's a no. We need to take their exams - but let's be honest, if we're working to a high standard in our countries, I can't see it being too hard to pass the Japanese equivalent!

Would you be able to give the links to the books you got on amazon? I'm studying ELEC at the moment as well as Japanese so these will come in handy.

Do you require any Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems & Equipment or something similar prior to doing this exam? Thank you for the help! Very informative video!

I have no idea what that is... so no! There are no prerequisites for the electrician qualification.

I finally got what i am looking for ,thx god!! And thank you!

Thank you for preparing this useful video. I was interested in your comment that there seems to be no outside inspection of electrical work - which begs the question why would you need to gain an electrician's certificate , apart from the obvious issue of avoiding faulty wiring with its consequential loss of life, limb or property. I recently bought a new build house in Kanagawa and want to add some extra lights and outlets, as an electronics engineer I beleive I understand all of electrical safety issues involved in the work and would rather do this work myself, mainly because I enjoy such activities. The exisiting wiring looks a mess, it's all point to point with zero cable management, so I would much rather do this work myself ... my main concern is how my additions may affect insurance, or invalidate the 10-year house warranty. Needless to say, my Japanese wife is less than excited by the idea of any sort of DIY ! Would be interested to hear your opinion.

I think you answered your own question: insurance. Well, and it’s illegal. I was an EE as well, the only thing I did that wasn’t up to code was install track lighting facing upwards. However what EEs know and what electricians know is pretty different. If you asked an EE to wire a 3-way switch they might be stumped. Re: the wife problem, if you have a license maybe she’ll let you make those additions😂.

Would this be sufficient for working as an electrician in japan or do you also need the second level as well?

@TheTampopoShow

2 ай бұрын

Sufficient if you’re working for someone. You need a few years of experience or a first class license to run your own business afaik.

does the test are in hiragana and katakana or all kanji?

It’s in normal Japanese so yes lots of Kanji, but the number of kanji you need to know isn’t so many. Plus numbers are numbers and that part is easy.

It’s definitely possible. Learn some Japanese and figure out how to get a visa.

After this test you can be a certified electrician in japan and work for an electrical company? (If you were a PR already, looking for a career change)
