Suggested sequence

  1. Review 20–30 Electrician vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
  2. Define the bridge from Neurology Project Manager: knowledge of the sector, terminology and typical work situations. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
  3. Learn smart buildings and sensors and remote diagnostics to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Build an engineering case with requirements, calculations, a model or prototype, tests and trade-off analysis.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Electrician, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
