How to build a bespoke electrical training course

Does standard training often fail to meet the needs of your electrical team? For any business looking for an electrical training course, finding the right fit can be a challenge. Many options lack flexibility or relevance to help with compliance, new staff, or technical skills – which is exactly where City & Guilds Training – Electrical comes in.

Our custom electrical training solutions ensure your team learns what matters most to your operations. We collaborate with you to design training that aligns exactly with your business objectives, delivering practical results and value. Here’s how we make the process simple in three easy steps.

Stage 1: Understanding the needs of your business

Initial discussions

Every training programme starts with a conversation. You’ll meet an experienced Business Development Manager who learns about your goals, identifies skill gaps, and discusses timelines. Whether you’re a large or small business, we listen closely.

Development proposals

After our discussion, we’ll find the most appropriate bespoke delivery solution, which can include:

In-centre training
Remote online sessions
Self-paced eLearning modules
Hands-on practical workshops
Or even on-site delivery at your location (subject to suitability)

The proposal gives you an early look at your training structure and is fully flexible for feedback and adjustments. This is where we start turning your custom programme into a practical solution.

Stage 2: Shaping your programme

Review proposal

We’ll develop a detailed proposal outlining content, delivery, and assessment methods. We’ll then review it with you to ensure it meets your goals. These sessions let you refine it before we begin course development.

Develop course

Once approved, our Development Team builds your course: learning materials, practical activities, and assessments. If you have Subject Matter Experts, we’ll ensure the course fits your standards.

You may also choose to include a bespoke Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), a branded online platform where learners can access:

eLearning modules
Course handouts and resources
Assessment materials
Additional support information

Final review

Once built, you’ll complete a final review. This is your opportunity to evaluate the content, format, and delivery to ensure they meet your expectations – we only move forward when you’re fully satisfied.

Stage 3: Bringing your course to life

Delivering your training

Once you have approved everything, we will begin the training. If your programme includes online learning, your team will have access to their Virtual Learning Environment. We deliver the training in the way you choose, whether in person, online, or a mix, while keeping things smooth for your business. Our trainers ensure that your team receives practical, engaging, and high-quality learning.

Certification

Ultimately, we issue a certificate of attendance or completion, depending on the course. Where relevant, certificates may confirm CPD hours or successful completion by assessment.
