initially i'm just doing a basic city and guilds domestic electrical install and testing course,
and then, depending on finances, do a specialist course in something, or get a job in a company leading toward a more specialised field.

i would like to know more,
is there a website or blog you can point me to that explains how it works, or even just explain it yourself?

Take too long to explain online. Look for an accountant in your area. Most do initial free meetings if they think you're going to become a client.
