Qualified Electrician Course

There are many excellent reasons to become an electrician and join this ever-growing industry. Once you have your core skills and qualifications, there are so many areas to move into. It is an exciting and financially rewarding industry.

To become an electrician you will need a basic understanding of maths and science. We recognise that every learner is different. We will give you all the support you need to feel confident in your learning. Our teachers and Customer Care team are always on hand for extra support if required.

There are many areas you may wish to diversify into once you become an electrician including domestic, commercial and industrial. You may consider working with green technologies such as EV charging, solar PV, battery storage, smart homes, wind or heat pumps. You could also consider Periodic Inspection & Testing, electrical design or HVAC. The possibilities are endless!

You can start self-funding your training on Steps 1-3. You will need suitable employment in the electrical industry to complete your Step 4 NVQ and AM2.

If you find suitable employment at any point, you may wish to transfer to one of our funded apprenticeships to complete your training. For more information visit our apprenticeships page.

The AM2 is not included in the cost of the course. This can be booked separately once you have completed your Step 4 assessments.
