About this course

Free Level 1 Electrical Installations Course in Tonbridge. Classes run at North Kent College Tonbridge, full-time during the day. The course takes one year to complete. You'll practise installing domestic wiring at 240V and industrial electrical systems up to 10,000V. That includes circuit breakers, consumer units, lighting circuits, and power circuits, all in line with industry regulations. You'll develop hands-on skills using the tools and components used in real electrical and building services work. These level 1 electrical installations classes give you a solid foundation in the techniques and practices the industry expects.

Who this course is for

On this course, learners can advance their understanding of the techniques and practices used within the Electrical and Building Service industries. Learners practise the installation of domestic (240V) and industrial (up to 10,000V) wiring and electrical components including circuit breakers, consumer units, lighting and power circuits, in accordance with industry standard regulations.

The course focuses on developing the hands-on use of tools and components to complete real installations, and develops students' theoretical knowledge of the underpinning maths and science which explain how these systems work.
