Guidance to be an electrician

saha572757 · Apr 27, 2023

Hello everyone, I am interested in pursuing a career in the electrical industry as an electrician. I have been looking at several vocational training centers around me and Learn Trade Skills is closest to where I live. I have been looking at several of their courses(Electrical Courses and Training - https://learntradeskills.co.uk/electric-courses/) But am not sure which one, to begin with. Any advice will be appreciated

Gold card package option 2 will bring you up to the level of what is considered qualified.

Wow, can't believe how much it costs.
i did the long winded route of getting qualifications and training whilst on the job so it cost me nothing other than working in a place that i eventually hated.

p.s. anyone fancy setting up a training school?
if we get 200 people through the door then its aprox £1.6 million to share between us, for that i think i could get over my resistance to public speaking!!!

Wow. I have never actually seen the price of it before. It’s hard to believe training centres are charging this per person for a bit of guidance and providing exams. My apprenticeship didn’t cost me a penny and the college provided all the necessary books including bs7671 and an on site guide, both of which we got to keep. How things have changed.

But to answer your question, gold card package seems the ideal choice.
