Apprenticeships
How to apply
The electrical apprenticeship is a Modern Apprenticeship designed to ensure that all apprentices are trained to the standards set by the industry in the United Kingdom. It is based on the values of the traditional apprenticeship with all apprentices being employed by electrical contractors while they learn the skills of their craft.

What's Involved
As an apprentice you will be employed throughout your training, both at college and on site.
The training is divided into three stages each of which must be satisfactorily completed before progressing to the next stage.
