You'll practise basic electrical systems in a safe, supervised environment and be assessed on your practical skills. There are no formal entry requirements. This level 1 electrical installations qualification does not make you a qualified electrician, but it is a solid first step toward further electrical training.

Who this course is for

The qualification facilitates progression to further engineering and building services qualifications. It gives the learner an opportunity to practice and be assessed in a secure environment on the basic electrical systems. The qualification does not make the individual an electrician, but allows progression to further study.
