Please all the content below, should you need anymore information or have any questions please give our course advisors a call.
The 4 Steps mirrors and maps to the industry recognised route for electrical trainees. It allows those who when starting out may not be working in the Electrical industry and breaks down the pathway into manageable chunks with clear marking points of achievement.
Once you find employment in the industry, the 4 Steps allows you to move across to a funded route without any hassle of repetition of training and thus complete your journey to becoming an Electrician.
Ask any electrician and they will tell you that PAT testing is a great added skill and an excellent way to generate extra revenue alongside domestic work. So it makes sense for us to offer two of our most popular courses together in one simple package and with a great saving in price. More reasons to train with us:
The course breaks down as follows:
If you are new to the industry and want to train as an electrician why not register for a taster session to find out if electrics could be the right career for you?
This course is designed specifically for new entrants, candidates from allied trades such as painters, decorators, carpenters, bricklayers, and really anyone looking to further their career in domestic electrical installation.
This course package is designed to give you the skills to find employment in this growing industry. If you want to work unsupervised on electrical installations you should expect to return and complete our full 4-step programme including an NVQ.
It also enables you to carry out PAT testing (usually for companies and landlords) which can help fill your diary and your pocket with some extra income.
This course package is designed to give you the skills to find employment in this growing industry. If you want to work unsupervised you should expect to return and complete our full 4-step programme including an NVQ.
This course teaches you how to carry out domestic installation plus PAT testing. You get 2 strings to your bow and two possible revenue streams for your business.
The skills, knowledge and qualifications gained on this first step will cover all the fundamentals of domestic installation and testing. This will make you more attractive to employers to find work or an apprenticeship and progress to fully status. Step 1 provides the necessary skills and knowledge required to understand and install circuits commonly found within domestic dwellings.
The following units of the Level 2 (City and Guilds 2365-02) Diploma in Electrical Installations are partly covered in Step 1:
These are further developed and assessed in Step 2.
We became the No.1 for a host of reasons – and the number one reason is trust. We’ve based everything in our company about being the very best – from our trainers, venues and materials through to ongoing support.
So here’s a few reasons we should choose us to train you for success.
Remember – our experienced advice team make sure you’re choosing the right course for you. Talk to them now for friendly, expert help.
You’ll learn practical skills needed to work on domestic electrics. You’ll have your own work space and consumer unit to work on and you’ll build lighting circuits, socket outlet circuits, cooker circuits, shower circuits and more. You’ll learn about earthing and bonding and how to use the tools the right way. You’ll learn installation theory including cable selection and for the assessment you’ll build circuits to demonstrate that you’ve learned what you need to know.
These are essential skills so we teach you the processes, procedures and practical skills to make your work is both functional and safe. The mix of theory and hands-on ensures you’re competent to inspect and test your own work. Note that this doesn’t allow you to carry out periodic inspection and testing – for that you’ll need to add C&G 2391 which you can see here Remember – our experienced advice team make sure you’re choosing the right course for you. Talk to them now for friendly, expert help.
The regulations part starts gently in the first week but you go into much more detail as the course goes on as you might expect. There’s a fair bit of overlap across the topics so we make sure we teach you the right way from the start – avoiding repetition and making sure the key knowledge sinks in. After this your domestic electrical installations will be seen to be compliant with Part P of the Building Regulations as well as the latest wiring regs. Every practicing electrician must have their wiring regs certificate (18th Edition).
We have average first time pass rates of over 90% on this course. You will take a variety of practical formative and summative assessments on this course as well as online multiple choice exam.
Please note that you must bring photographic ID such as a passport or driving license with you in order to sit the assessments on this course. Exams for remote learning can be booked in via student services once you are ready. On in centre elements exams take place at the end of each week.

Our course allows students to carry out domestic electrical work. You can use the skills gained to find work in the industry and the core knowledge gained will allow you to progress on our 4 step programme in the future. In the main students can tackle non-notifiable work and should work with an experienced electrician on more complex installations.
Your acceptance on a Domestic Installers Scheme is the decision of the registration body and dependent on your skills, experience and knowledge level. Tradeskills4U is a training company and responsible for training only. We are not responsible for the assessment process or eligibility of students to gain registration with any external organisation.
If you want to join a scheme please ensure you speak to your chosen scheme provider to check their specific requirements. Recent changes to schemes have made these routes much more confusing and we recommend anyone looking to register should future proof their career by completing Steps 1-4.
Frankly, No. You can undertake notifiable and non notifiable work without being registered with a registration body and whilst there are obvious business benefits to joining such schemes, they are not mandatory.
We have had guidance discussions with Senior building control officials on your behalf and the advice we have been given and as is stated in building regulations, the system is such that you are able to undertake domestic electrical work for a customer and by liaising with local building control you can ensure the homeowner obtains their Part P compliance certificate.
The issue here is ‘competency’. You must be competent to do the work and Building control will need to know you’re competent.
Most people that train with us on this course will build up their experience by doing the following things:
When you feel more confident and the demand for notifiable jobs increases you can then look to join a scheme as described above.
No, Part P only applies to England and Wales.
