This course has been designed as a practical based training course aimed at people who have little or no experience of electrical installations and are looking to take the first step on the ladder.  The course is 75% practical and throughout the course you will have your own tools, materials, certificate and test equipment (the multi function testers we use are Megger 1552 / 53).  The aim of the course is to give you the practical skills and basic understanding of domestic installations in preparation for further electrical courses and for becoming a registered domestic installer.

The course is taught by experienced electrical contractors and you will start the week with a blank test rig which throughout the 5 days you will;  fit a consumer unit from which you will install lighting circuits (1-way, 2-way and intermediate), ring circuits and radial circuits.  You will test the installations and complete relevant certificates. 

The courses contained in our 20 day electrical pakage are ideal for new entrants who wish to enter the trade.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the centre either on 01782 837007 or via email on enquiries@tradeteacher.co.uk
