Domestic Electrical Installers Course

6 week course, at the Rotherham site.

If you’re looking for a way into the electrical industry, but you’ve maybe missed an apprenticeship opportunity or are unable to commit to a long-term college training course, this is a serious option for you.

Accredited by City & Guilds, it’s a six-week programme, split into two modules. ELECSA, the body authorised by Local Government to deliver a competent persons scheme enabling you to self certify domestic electrical work, will provide an inspection, assessment and certification service on successful completion of the course.

As an approved contractor on the ELECSA system, you enjoy the benefits of a scheme run by electricians for the electrical trade.

The course includes Basic Electrical Training for 1 week followed by a 5 week Domestic Electrician Workshop. This covers the principles and practices of electrical installation work in a domestic environment.
