Our Electrical Courses

This is how we split our course into 3 stages:

Stage 1: Online Learning – Core Electrical Theory

Learners begin with a series of flexible online modules that introduce essential concepts in electrical installation and safety. This self-paced stage provides the foundational knowledge required to move confidently into hands-on training.

You’ll cover:

  • Electrical principles and wiring regulations

  • Circuit design and installation basics

  • Safety legislation and risk management (inc. BS 7671 / 18th Edition)

  • Cable types, uses, and current-carrying capacity

  • Inspection, testing, and fault finding fundamentals

Why it’s important:
By learning theory online, students can study when it suits them best — ideal for fitting around work or family life. This phase ensures that learners enter practical sessions prepared and ready to apply their knowledge safely and effectively.

Stage 2: Practical Training – Real-World Electrical Skills

This stage takes place in our fully equipped training centres. Under the supervision of qualified instructors, learners develop the practical skills needed to install, test, and maintain electrical systems in domestic, commercial, and industrial environments.

You’ll gain experience in:

  • Installing consumer units, sockets, switches, and lighting circuits

  • Conducting insulation and continuity tests

  • Earthing and bonding procedures

  • Fault diagnosis and safe rectification

  • Complying with wiring standards and documentation

Why it’s important:
Electricians must be confident and competent when working in the field. This practical training ensures you’re job-ready with the tools, techniques, and hands-on experience employers are looking for.

Stage 3: Career Support & Employment Guidance

The final stage focuses on helping you transition from training to employment. Whether you’re aiming to work for a company or go self-employed, our careers team is here to support your goals.

Our career support includes:

  • Help completing your work-based portfolio (where applicable)

  • CV writing and interview coaching
