About this course

Level 3 Domestic Electrical Installer Course in Stirling. Classes run at Stirling Business Centre, full-time over 8 days. You'll need a basic understanding of electrical theory before you start. The course is aimed at tradespeople who want to expand what they can offer customers, including inspection, testing, and certification of domestic electrical installations. It covers initial verification, periodic inspection, condition reporting, and the certification process. This level 3 domestic electrical installer qualification gives you the skills to carry out work that previously required bringing in a separate electrician.

Who this course is for

This Domestic electrical installation course is designed for people wishing to upgrade their existing skills to be able to offer customers further services. The Commercial electrical installation course is aimed at tradesmen like plumbers, kitchen fitters, bathroom installers, etc who no longer want to pay an electrician to add sockets, move existing systems or add an extra light switch etc…

Upon completing this 2 week Domestic electrical installation course, the candidate will have the appropriate knowledge and qualifications to enable them to join one of the Approved Part P membership schemes. This will then enable them to sign off their own work without having to get others involved.
