Why take this course?
This course provides an excellent foundation for those wishing to work in the electrical industry. The main focus of the course is on domestic installations; however almost all of the content is applicable to non-domestic electrical systems also.
Further training will be necessary to become a fully qualified electrician, to work unsupervised in the commercial sector or to sign off your own notifiable work in domestic installations.
Is this the right course for me?
For those intending to work as Domestic Installers, or start their career in electrical installation, this course offers an excellent foundation to build up your skills and progress onto further qualifications and experience.

Eligibility
This is a technical and intensive course. Those Service leavers who do not have a technical background or who are not proficient in GCSE/O-Level maths, may find this course very challenging.Colour blindness can be a restriction depending upon its severity and should be identified and confirmed with an optician’s certificate
Course Content
You will learn the theory behind different electrical circuits found in the home, and how they should be installed and tested.
You will select cable size/type and protective devices as guided by current regulations, and install the circuits in our purpose built workshops to a rig provided.
Inspection and test will then be carried out on each circuit to measure electrical characteristics and prove compliance with regulations. This will also determine if it is safe to put into operation. You will complete Electrical Installation Certificates (EIC) for new work, Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates for alterations, and Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) for those already in use. During the course you will also inspect and test pre-built installations with switchable faults and produce certification for them as you would with a real domestic installation.
