Professional Electrical Course

Who is this qualification for?

This is a ‘new career’ course, which means it is ideal for beginners who wish to start a new career in the field of electrical work. Many of the people who enrol on this course have no electrical experience whatsoever, although we can also help more advanced students who need to refresh their knowledge.

Progressing further

While our professional electrical course has been developed to give you all the knowledge and skills needed to become a practising electrician, there are a number of more advanced courses and progression routes that you may wish to take advantage of in order to further your career and expand your skillset. Once you have successfully completed this course, your tutors will be more than happy to discuss your ambitions with you and recommend suitable progress options.

One common progress route for students who complete our professional electrical course is the City & Guilds 2396 Design & Verification qualification, which will enable you to design and specify electrical schemes for other electricians to carry out. We can also help students who wish to progress into managerial or supervisory roles.
