It is important that you get appropriate guidance and support when starting in the Electrical Trade and that the qualifications you undertake allow you to progress fully within this exciting industry.
We train both online through our own training portal with lots of practice tests ensuring complete understanding. In our practical workshop, and outside all tasks are completed in a realistic manner directly with experienced assessors, not in a big class so that you can relax, and also gain the required experience YOU need to work in the Electrical Trade.
You can talk about and learn techniques fully so that you understand them and can apply them to realistic installation practices. We always go above and beyond to ensure both understanding and knowledge because you are working directly with us. Understanding why Electricians do things in particular ways not just to complete the qualification. Techniques and theory behind how installations work and why is particularly important and ensure safety at work and is completed to the required standards.
It is important to take time to both learn and understand the knowledge elements required so that you can work more confidently within the Electrical trade to gain the maximum experience and knowledge.
Remember the Electrical Trade is not just Domestic Installations but covers all aspects of Electrical Supply and its use in both Industry Commercial and Domestic type installations.
The pay and time to complete the job to a higher standard are also much greater. This is why our training portal allows you to spend more time understanding and applying the knowledge in preparation for the exams and assessments with many practice questions as you learn to help you check your progress by repeating anything you may need extra work on. We also monitor this by our team of professionals to guide or support you if required.
This also allows our assessors to spend more time with you in the practical assessments and training all on a one-to-one basis, not in a large group so that you gain the most knowledge and experience to work in the Electrical Industry.

Remember the Electrical trade is growing fast with new applications and exciting opportunities developing within the Trade, particularly with changes in heating requirements and electric Vehicle charging in all aspects of Commercial Industrial and Domestic applications.
New wind farms and Solar Electric supplies all need Electricians to install and maintain supplies in this ever-changing world. All the knowledge and experience gained in these qualifications will help prepare you for working in the industry.
Fault finding and being able to fully test and inspect installations is both challenging and adds additional interest in Electrical Installations, Being able to understand and apply theory not just passing exams is important which is why we support the Electrical Trade in the way we do and give you experience directly with our assessors so that we can pass on our knowledge directly to you.
It is better to spend extra time and learn properly at your pace as work and lifestyle allow so that understanding how things work or need installing in particular ways you can become more involved and develop your skills.
