Description

This course can take you from a complete beginner to a fully qualified domestic electrical installer.

The objective of this course is for you to become fully qualified and equipped with the knowledge, skills and competency that meet the real world’s demands.

Successful completion of a Domestic Electrical Installer course leads to industry recognised qualifications. The class based training, examinations and assessments for this course are conducted by an external training organisation which holds the accreditation to carry out the qualifications.

The theory and practical training lead to City & Guilds 2357 Level 3 Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment knowledge units:

  • Unit 1 - Health and Safety legislation, practices and procedures
  • Unit 2 - Overseeing and organising the work environment (Electrical Installation)
  • Unit 3 - Installation of electrotechnical equipment and systems
  • Unit 4 - Installation of wiring systems and electrotechnical equipment
  • Unit 5 - Termination and connection of conductors, cables and cords in electrical systems

Throughout the training you will learn a range of practical skills, all backed up by a requisite underpinning knowledge and hands on experience in one of the state of the art training centres with full tutor support.  Training allows you to experience real-life problems in a variety of scenarios by using fully interactive 3D virtual reality simulation software – a powerful tool where you can apply theory you have learnt and practise to enhance and reinforce your practical skills.

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to work, legally and safely, as a qualified domestic electrical installer, either in your own business or for a company. This training course could be an essential stepping stone for students who wish to progress and move up to train as a fully qualified electrician.

Your next step to move up will be achieving an NVQ qualification, which cannot be achieved at a training centre or without any underpinning knowledge.  Our recommended training providers offering this course run their own construction projects which presents a unique opportunity for you to achieve an NVQ with them in a reasonably short period of time.

Minimum age requirement is from 19 years.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
