Want to become an electrician and harness the power of electricity? Becoming a fully qualified electrician will result in a vast variety of job opportunities, a better quality of life, and a more pleasing rate of pay. In this blog, we will be running through the course structure, and the qualifications required to become a fully qualified electrician.

Electrician Course Overview

Skills Centre offers a variety of added benefits compared to our competitors. The first benefit comes from the ability to work from home at the beginning of your electrician course.

While working from home, you will be provided with our bespoke manuals and unique virtual reality computer software, allowing you to learn the basics of electrical work and get to experience multiple virtual simulations of these processes, choosing what tool is right for the specified jobs, all assessed by one of our personal tutors.

This at-home learning is fit around your day-to-day living, so there is no rush to get the work done as soon as possible. Once the work is completed and approved by your tutor, you will then be invited to attend one of our nationwide training centres. From here you will undergo more study and practical work with like-minded students, under the guidance of your tutor.
