What to look for when choosing an Electrical Training Centre

We have recently had feedback from our customers and potential customers that finding the right electrical training provider can be very difficult, time consuming and extremely confusing so we thought we would take this opportunity to list a few key points that must be considered when making your decision.

  1. Class Size – In this case smaller is better. Ideally you should be looking at a class size of no more than 8 Students per instructor as this will allow the trainer to highlight very quickly any additional support that you may require. Any more than 8 in the class and you may get lost in the crowd! Make sure you ask before you book!
  2. Approved Centre - Make sure that the courses the training centre offers are accredited by awarding bodies which in our case is the City and Guilds. We would encourage all customers to go to the awarding bodies’ website and check that the training centre is approved for the qualification it is delivering.
  3. Learning Environment – When considering workshop based courses make sure that these are as close to real life scenarios as possible. Simply training in work bays alone will not give you the real life training you need. Make sure you ask the question before you book!
  4. After Course Support – Find out if your training provider is prepared to go the extra mile by holding you back at the end of the day if required to give you one to one training to address an area you may be struggling in.

We strongly recommend that all customers wishing to undertake any Electrical Training address the points mentioned above to ensure they receive the right training, Qualification and support.
