Electrician Courses

Students often ask

• I'm worried I won't be able to afford my course or a deposit, can I still join?
• We offer payment plans broken into instalments to help spread the cost. Also, you get deposit options when you sign up, so there is bound to be an option that works for you and your financial situation. Our Access Apprenticeships offer an alternative route into the trades where you can start earning alongside your training…

• I didn’t do well at school. What if the courses are too hard for me?
• At Access you can train on your own terms. You get an online platform where you can re-watch all the webinars as many times as you want. And the best part: You get hands-on training in our centres in all the courses. Most of our students learn by doing. And hundreds of our students proved that there’s no link between being good at school as a child and building a solid trades career. In addition, you have personal access to our friendly mentors and you can ask all the questions that you have.

• English is not my first language. What if I can’t understand the course content?
• Over 30% of our students have English as their second language. You will have the recordings of all the webinars. So, if you don’t understand a phrase, you will have plenty of time to pause, go back, and translate it using google translate. You need to be able to speak, but nobody expects you to be perfect.

• I need a lot of time to learn a new skill. Will I have to pay more if it takes me longer to learn?
• You don’t have to pay more if it takes you longer to learn. You will get access to our course materials for 3 years. So you can learn at a pace that suits you and you won't be expected to move forward to the next part of your training until you feel comfortable that you understand the content.

• How many hours per day does it take to do the course?
• The Electrician course is really self-paced and students don't have to book their practical assessments until they feel ready. You can do as little as 20 minutes per day if you want to take it slow. Or do 6 hours per day and build your skills fast.

• What does your career support look like?
• We support you on every step of your career building process.
  
  Firstly, there is a career support team. They offer guidance to every student who has questions about CVs, interview preparation, and landing your first job . We provide CV templates and guide you on how to create a good CV.

• How long do I have access to the courses for?
• You have access to our student portal with all the courses webinars, career support resources and network offers for 3 years.

• I learn by doing and I don’t think an office job is for me. Is this course right for me?
• Most of our students prefer hands-on work, that’s why they love the trades industry! We don’t make everyone sit in the classroom 9 to 5 to become an electrician. This attitude will be very helpful for you in your trade career and we 100% see the power of learning by doing. That’s why we created centres all over the UK, for all the students to be able to come and get their hands dirty.
