Years of taking regular enquiries has shown that the electrical industry can be a mine field and there can be some confusion over what is required and when, and what options are available if you want to learn to be an electrician.
Will the course make me a qualified electrician? Will I be able to undertake work any where? Can I do commercial? What is Part P?......... and the list goes on.

This route is achievable in a fairly short space of time. This course is provided in order to achieve Domestic Installer status are a mix of practical and classroom based courses to provide you with underpinning knowledge, practical abilities and an understanding of the Building Regulations.
A Domestic Installer is someone who is looking to carry out electrical installations within the home, for example, installation and replacement of electrical components, Installing and/or rerouting cables, lighting installations and so on.
- We offer 2 or 5 day electrician courses (dependant upon existing knowledge) to teach or refresh you on this and more.
In order to be able to legally carry out this electrical work and self certify, it is a requirement that you register onto a ‘competent persons’ scheme, better known as Part P.
- Our 5 day VRQ Part P Certification Course will bring you right up to the required safety standards and enable you to register with a relevant Governing body so that you can install your own or anyone else’s electrical work.
When you register onto a Part P scheme, the Governing body of your choice will arrange an appointment to assess your work. This can be quite a daunting experience, especially if this area of work is completely new to you.
- In order to help you get through this assessment with confidence, we also provide a 2 day practical electrical course on inspection/testing.
Finally, your Part P registration will be complete once you have also obtained:
- City & Guilds 2382 (17th Edition) – You have 12 months from registration/acceptance to achieve this. This will provide you with a full understanding of BS7671 – Wiring Regulations.
All of this electrical training will take you to the standard of a defined scope Domestic Installer.
- If you want to later become full scope to be able to expand on your work, you will be required to obtain City & Guilds 2391 – Inspection and Testing.

- City & Guilds 2330 level 2 is your starting point.
- With this qualification you can enter into the electrical industry and at the same time, look ahead to being assessed on site to obtain NVQ level 3.
- Compliment this with City & Guilds 2382 (17th Edition) and City & Guilds 2391 (Inspection & Testing) and you are considered to be an electrician.
- This will give you the scope to carry out work within the commercial and industrial sector but not domestic, for this you will need a relevant qualification to register onto a Part P scheme.
Able Skills has structured the City & Guilds 2330 to cater for the intensity of the training. We allocate a 2 week block for training and then a 2 week block away and this pattern continues for 20 weeks.
