If you like getting stuck into practical work, are a great problem solver, and are interested in how electrical systems function, you could enjoy a career as an Electrician.
This course will teach you a range of skills and techniques, such as how to wire circuits, install lighting, and troubleshoot electrical issues. You’ll learn through a combination of classroom sessions and practical lessons in our fully equipped workshops.
By the end of this one-year course, you’ll have a foundation of knowledge to confidently take the next step towards a higher-level course or an apprenticeship.
Electrical Installation is an important skillset that keeps homes, businesses and other buildings functioning smoothly. You could work in a wide range of sectors, in large or small businesses, or be self-employed.
You will need five GCSEs at grades 3-9, or equivalent (including English and maths).
Once completed you may be able to progress to the Level 2 Electical Installation (Building Services) qualification to further your skills and prepare you for work.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests! You can socialise with friends in the café and comfy seating areas, join a club or sports team or attend exciting events around the college. Many of our enrichment opportunities are also great on your CV or UCAS application to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm outside of your studies.
Your time at college can also be affected by life or health difficulties, and it’s okay to need support. Our specialist teams are here every day to listen and give advice, whether it’s about career planning, financial support, mental health, or something else. And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
