What are the routes to becoming an electrician?
You essentially have two routes and which one you take depends on the time you have to train and where you want to go with your electrical career.To become a quote ’ fully qualified electrician’ you would go via the City & Guilds 2330 qualification then onto an NVQ assessment. We offer this route, it generally takes around 6 months intensive training to complete. Or via the Part P route to become a Domestic electrical Installer on the shorter 17 Day Multi Course then add the various qualifications as you go along i.e. City & Guilds 2391. You can then build on these qualifications as you gain more experience. This route has the advantage of being a quicker route, though initially you would not be able to do some work a 2330 person would do. i.e. Commercial installations. Either of these routes are acceptable and are common place within the industry.
