Post Training Support

Just a quick reminder to let you know that all of our customers are able to take advantage of our Post Training Support once they have finished their courses Free of Charge.
Here at ET4U we recognise the importance of supporting you once you have left the training centre, as just like driving when you first pass your driving test that is when you really learn to drive.

So if you need any help from us please use Facebook (http://on.fb.me/SQlU45 ) as we check this throughout the day and have started to create a small forum answering common problems. We’re here to help so put us to the test and give yourself peace of mind!

New Courses

Watch this space – We are about to launch 2 new courses in the next couple of weeks as the City and Guilds 2391 Level 3 Certificate in the Certification of Electrical Installations comes to an end.
City and Guilds have replaced this course with 2 Courses:

1. 2394 Level 3 Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations 
2. 2395 Level 3 Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations 

So it’s goodbye to the 2391 and a big hello to the 2394 and 2395 so keep watching our website at http://www.electricaltraining4u.co.uk for the launch and do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Experience Course

We have been very busy changing our premises to improve our Experience Course and make it even more realistic to mimic real life scenarios.
We’ve dedicated even more space for this course as we feel it is extremely important that our customers gain the real life skills they need to feel confident when they leave our training centre.
So what have we added?... 2 flats / Loft area with tiled roof / Fault finding area / 3 Phase installation area/ Single phase Board change area. It has to be seen to be believed and we are the only centre in the country to run this course!

New Canteen/Kitchen Area

We have just recently opened our new Canteen/Kitchen area where all our customers can relax during their breaks and take advantage of free unlimited tea and coffee whilst they train with ET4U.  So none of these horrible vending machines that cost a fortune and taste like crap!
 
Also we have provided a good selection of goodies/munchies to tempt our customers at prices far cheaper than any shop to keep their minds fit and healthy whilst completing their training courses. So I guess we could say naughty but nice at the right price!

New Workshop Opens

We have opened our new Testing, Inspection and initial verification workshop at ET4U to improve the quality of the practical training that is so essential on these courses.

We are continually changing the training centre to improve the quality of the training we provide and we most defiantly believe that the addition of our new workshop does that.

Please take the time to visit our website and have a look at the pictures of the new workshop as well as many pictures and videos of the whole training centre. You won’t be disappointed!!!!

ET4U Blooper Video

We have just launched our new ‘Blooper video’ which is most defiantly worth a watch and not to be missed!
We have taken some footage which could not be used in our corporate and course videos to show that we are not precious at all about making mistakes at ET4U and, in fact, the joke is most certainly on us. Please take a look and perhaps have a laugh with us as we all really enjoyed it when we initially saw the video!
So, we are human and yes we do make mistakes - and yes maybe we should stick to what we are best at!!!!!!!!!
You can view our Bloopers by visiting the ET4U Media Centre at http://www.electricaltraining4u.co.uk/media-centre or by viewing it on our ET4U Vimeo account.

ET4U Media Centre

We've always recommended that, prior to booking a training course, customers try their very best to visit their shortlisted training centres to get a first hand understanding of the facilities on offer and to meet the staff who will be responsible for tutoring their chosen courses. However, for those who do not live nearby, this can sometimes be difficult and is not always possible.

To address this issue, ET4U have put together a 'Media Centre' page on our website which is packed of videos and photographs of our training centre. The purpose of this page is to give potential customers an accurate insight into our centre and to help those who live further a field to gauge whether ET4U is the right choice for them, should they not be able to visit our premises prior to booking.

Further to this, our helpful members of staff are always available to answer any questions that you might have over the telephone, so if you are interested in training with us please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Visit our ET4U Media Centre.

17th Edition Courses – Time is running out!

We have recently been informed by the City and Guilds that from the 1st January 2012 the 17th Edition update course will be discontinued. The update course was aimed at people who already held the 16th Edition qualification and was designed to last only one day so saving people time and money. We are also aware that people who are currently members of Government approved part p schemes and do not have this qualification after January 1st 2012 will not to be able to re-join their scheme and sign off their own work.
So to avoid having to any part p scheme issues or pay for the full 17th Edition Course which lasts 3 Days we would strongly advise you to book one of our Update 17th Edition Courses as soon as possible.

Course News

Solar PV Training: Our first ever Solar PV Training Course has just started with all our customers commenting on how realistic a set up we have here at Electrical Training 4U. We have 2 large roofs with 2 fully operational Solar PV Systems for them to learn and work on. It should be a fantastic week!

Part P Course: We still keep being asked why our Part P Courses (City and Guilds 2393) are only for 2 days and not 5. The simple answer is City and Guilds recommends 1 day for people with some experience so we have successfully tailored our course over 2 days to accommodate people who have little or no experience. We can also boast a 100% pass rate! So why pay for 5 days training for the same qualification that you can get with us in 2?

Visit our website or speak to a member of our team for more info!

NAPIT Approved Training Centre

We are now a NAPIT approved training centre which is fantastic news for all our new and old customers who have undertaken our Electrical Courses as they will be able to get a reduction of £100.00 on their first year’s membership. So all of our customers can join up to NAPIT for £260.00 for the first year which represents excellent value for money when you consider the alternative of paying building control approximately £200.00 per finished electrical job/installation.

Your customer will get peace of mind as you will have been proved competent by NAPIT with the finished work being insured by NAPIT for 6 years after you have finished the job.
So by training with Electrical Training 4U you will be able to take advantage of yet another value added service/product which supports our key phrase “quality electrical training at affordable prices”.

More Course Dates Now Available

We are now running more Electrical Courses to meet increased demand whilst also giving our customers more flexibility when it comes to choice of course dates.

We were not prepared to increase the size of our classes to meet the increased demand as we strongly believe that in this case small is definitely better. With smaller class sizes we are able to offer training that is unbeatable in the market and that statement is supported with a 98% City and Guilds exam pass rate.

With extra course dates we are also in a better position to cater for our customers that have either work commitments or financial pressures and need to spread their training over longer periods.

We attribute our increase in Electrical Courses demand to customer referrals combined with quality training at affordable prices.

When it comes to quality training at realistic pricing we are most definitely number one in the country. Book a course now and come and see for yourself............

If you don’t live close to ET4U we can help with your accommodation

As a considerable number of our customers are not local to our electrical training centre we have over a period of many months established a list of good local and affordable accommodation. This has been achieved with feedback from our customers who have actually stayed at all our recommended Hotels, Bed and Breakfasts and Youth Hostels. I guess you could say we believe that you cannot beat personal recommendation and “the proof of the pudding is in the eating”. Typically prices can range from £40.00 a night for a bed and breakfast with en-suite to £15.00 a night for a youth hostel.

So if you do not live close to our electrical training centre and want to book any courses with Electrical Training 4U please give us a call or visit www.electricaltraining4u.co.uk and we will gladly point you in the right direction.

New Solar Training Courses Launched

With Carbon figures looking to be dramatically cut by 2025 there is a huge focus on renewable energies and so we have therefore decided to launch two new Solar PV Training Courses to enable individuals to take advantage of the future growth in this market.

Domestic Electrician Solar Course

Our New 20 Day Domestic Electrician Solar Course is aimed at people with little or no electrical experience who want to qualify as Domestic Electricians whilst also gaining the knowledge and skills to install Solar Photovoltaic Systems.

Solar PV Training Course

Our New 5 Day Solar PV Training Course is aimed at qualified electricians with good installation and testing experience who are looking to increase their earnings by tapping into this lucrative market opportunity.
It is clear that the future is and has to be green, so make sure you take advantage of this huge financial opportunity and book one of our Solar Training Courses!

Pay as you train

We are fully aware that some of our customers are not able to simply take off 15/20 Days to attend our longer Electrical Training Courses and would like to have the opportunity to split the courses up to suit their own personal circumstances.

So we have........ Both our 15 Day Domestic Electrician Course and 20 Day Domestic Electrician Package with Experience Week is now available in blocks of 5 days and can be attended over any amount of time to fit in with our customer’s requirements.

To book we will simply need a deposit for the Electrician Courses (as per our website course costs) with the balance payment being split evenly between the courses remaining. We believe this is a more flexible and fairer way to train!

For full details on our Pay-as-you-train arrangement, please click here.

Why so cheap ?

We keep being asked why is your 15 Day Domestic Electrician Course so cheap in comparison to other Electrical Training providers and what’s the catch?

The simple answer is we are not cheap and there is no catch, the others are simply expensive! We make sure that we manage our overheads and marketing activity to ensure that we offer quality Electrician Training Courses at affordable prices.
We do not do any internet marketing as we are naturally high up the search engines without having to spend vast amounts of money on Google Pay Per Click campaigns and so do not have to pass that cost on to our customers.

We manage all of our Business costs with close scrutiny so that we can keep all of our overheads as low as possible and enable us to be as competitive as we can.
We recognise also that financially times at the moment are very tough and people are not prepared or able to pay unrealistic Electrical Training costs. That is why we have also included in the cost of £1,700.00 (Including VAT) either all the course literature required for the courses or a CK Electricians Premium Tool Kit. We can truly say there are no hidden costs in our Electrician Training Courses.

PAT On The Back

We love seeing our customers pleased with the training they receive at ET4U! Here’s a quick testimonial from one of our recent students:

“I’ve recently finished a pat testing course with ET4U and I’m absolutely delighted with my experience. When I first spoke to Nigel Best, the MD, he was very interested in my story and, sensing I was a little hesitant, put me at ease by suggesting that I come and visit the facilities and see if I liked what I saw.

I did visit and I was extremely impressed with the new centre. The classrooms and workshops were smart and comfortable, and I had a great chat with Steve Chambers the Electrical Trainer about the pat testing courses. I told him I worked at a shopping centre doing maintenance work, but wanted to broaden my skill set and learn how to inspect and test the centre’s electrical equipment. Steve explained what the two day pat testing course involved, the skills I would learn, and how it would benefit me in the future. Nigel also mentioned that I could take an additional experience course at ET4U so that I could put my new skills to a practical test under supervision, ironing out any problems and ensuring that I make my mistakes before I take on any real world challenges.

The friendly and knowledgeable manner of both men made my decision an easy one. I took the pat testing courses and now I’m fully qualified to test and inspect electrical equipment, and am earning a lot more than I used to! My task was made a lot easier by the steady stream of teas and coffees while I studied—although I’m not sure if I should be revealing this trade secret! So thanks a million Nigel and Steve, I’d happily recommend your excellent and professional training centre to anyone!”

Make sure you Visit the Electrical training Facilities

When you are considering booking Electrician Training Courses you should always try to visit the centre rather than relying purely on the pictures posted on their Website. Quite a few of us will have experienced staged photographs that make things look more appealing and larger than they really are in real life and in our experience this can be said about some Electrical Training Facilities.

By also visiting and seeing the Electrical Training Facilities first hand you will get an excellent feel for the training environment which is why at ET4U we would like as many people as practically possible to come and see our Electrical Training Facilities for themselves as we can boast that 100% of people who visited us booked with us!
