Exactly!
Asking questions also shows your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
Learn from those who have done it (and may be even mucked it up) before. grin

That last point by nesparky is a particularly important one, I've lost count of the sparkies I've met over here that seem to think that when the ink is dry on their ticket, that they have learned sufficient skills and need not do any further training or study.

IMO, this is a starting point and it really only gives you a minimum skill set to be able to do your work in a compliant manner.
Besides, the more skills and knowledge you have, the more attractive you are to a prospective employer.
