I signed up with Elec Training to improve my qualifications

I signed up with Elec Training to complete my NVQ and achieve my Gold Card. I chose them because they are one of the few companies that help people find work placements outside of apprenticeships. This was crucial for me since I’m no longer eligible for an apprenticeship and couldn’t afford to take a role at apprentice wages. Their support has made a huge difference in my journey, and I highly recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

Top class training

Ben and others from the centre helps us understand theory and practical during the whole course. It’s an intensive course for 7 weeks including the 18th wiring edition. For me I had chosen this place as others don’t offer support into employment and others were charging a lot more than it was worth. Highly recommend *****

Top quality training provider

I was previously doing an assembly job and in search of a more rewarding career.

The training courses with Elec Training were fantastic with plenty of support and guidance. The tutors were very helpful and down to earth.

After finishing the course, I did not have a job lined up but Elec Training worked tirelessly to place me in a suitable role and provided invaluable interview tips.

I am now working as a Trainee Electrician thanks to Elec Training.

Elec Training Turned My Career Around

Elec Training Turned My Career Around
After struggling to find an electrician’s role following an incomplete 3-year apprenticeship with Engie, I decided to join Elec Training to pursue my NVQ. From the start, the team at Elec Training thoroughly explained the steps needed to achieve the JIB Gold Card.
Thanks to the incredible support from Joshua, the Careers Manager, I was placed in a role within just two weeks of enrolling. Now, I have a clear path to qualification and the opportunity to work worldwide as a certified electrician.
Thank you, Elec Training, for turning my career around!

Fast-Track to Becoming a Qualified Electrician

After working in the construction and telecommunications industries for several years, I decided it was time to take up a trade, and becoming an electrician was the perfect fit for my existing skills. I chose Elec Training because an apprenticeship would have required a significant salary cut and a lengthy 4-year process, which wasn’t necessary given my experience.
Thanks to Elec Training, I'm well on my way to becoming qualified. I’ve already gained the necessary qualifications to start working on-site as an electrician and will be returning to complete my Level 3 and NVQ. A special thanks to Malcolm for the excellent training, and to Josh for securing me a job before I even finished the course!

“Does exactly what it says on the tin”

After working as a BT engineer for 10 years, I realized I could advance my career by pursuing an electrical qualification. I found it easy to book electrical courses, but the challenge was finding a job afterwards. That's when I came across Elec Training. From my first conversation with them, I felt confident enrolling.
Not only do they offer the proper City & Guilds route, but they also have a dedicated recruiter. Thanks to Josh, I had multiple job opportunities lined up after completing both my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications.
A big thank you to the trainers for preparing me to a high standard, and to Josh for helping me secure work. I now feel confident going out on site!

Outstanding Training and Support for a Successful Career Change

My name is Dariush, and after arriving in the UK with over a decade of experience as a Mathematics teacher in my home country, I quickly realized that continuing in the same career here would be challenging. I decided to pursue a new path and become an electrician, and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision and the training I received at Elec Training.

The Level 2 and 3 courses provided by Elec Training were exceptional. The instructors, fellow students, and support staff created an encouraging and supportive environment that was crucial to my success. Special thanks to Josh, the placement manager, for his guidance, and to Stuart and Andy for their outstanding teaching. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I am now successfully employed in my new field.
