What Makes a Good Domestic Electrician?

We always get asked the question ‘What makes a good Domestic electrician?’, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to briefly answer this once and for all.

1. Qualifications: Nowadays it is crucial for a domestic electrician to be fully trained and qualified within his/her field. Anything less and he/she will be putting themselves and their clients at risk. Training should take place in an approved training centre which meets industry standards and regulations. In the case of Electrical Training 4U, we are approved and regulated by City & Guilds and NAPIT, therefore ensuring our students a high level of teaching throughout.
2. Experience: Having qualifications is one thing - but having real-life trade experience is another. Experience is invaluable and adds a wealth of depth to a domestic electrician’s existing knowledge. It is for this reason that Electrical Training 4U decided to devise and offer our unique ‘Experience Week Course’ to our students... We understand the importance of having experience and directly address this issue in this course. Experience not only empowers a tradesman to make the best decisions on behalf of his clients, but it also gives him/her the confidence that he/she needs to best deal with day-to-day challenges.
3. Punctual: If you have made an appointment to quote for some work make sure that you arrive at the agreed time. Quite often you have been asked by the customer to look at issues that need resolving quickly and a good domestic electrician should always understand the urgency and anxiety of the customer’s requirements and be able to provide a quality service in a timely manner. At Electrical Training 4U we have integrated business and commercial advice into our courses to focus on and address this very issue so that our trained domestic electricians stand out amongst the crowd.
4. Reliable and polite: A good Domestic Electrician will always turn up to start a new job on the day and time that he/she has stipulated. Customers want people to keep to the agreed time and date and be polite and courteous. This on the face of it is very simple to achieve but sadly lacking in the domestic electrician market. Electrical Training 4U makes all of its students very aware of this fact within the courses .We do this to highlight to the students that the most effective and cheapest marketing is simply a happy customer as he/she will undoubtedly tell many other people.

If you have got all of the above qualities, chances are that you are destined for a healthy and successful career as an electrician!
