This comprehensive introduction to electrical installation principles is designed to mirror the Level 2 City & Guilds style and curriculum, making it an ideal starting point for aspiring electricians. The course provides a detailed understanding of the UK electrical industry, key roles and responsibilities, and potential progression pathways into apprenticeships and more advanced qualifications. Learners are introduced to the core theories that underpin electrical systems, including voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s Law, and the practical application of electrical formulas in real-world scenarios.

Throughout the course, students explore a wide range of electrical systems and components, such as wiring systems, circuit protection devices, and both domestic and commercial installations. Practical skills are developed through lessons on wiring techniques, installation of lighting and socket outlets, interpreting schematics, and safe isolation procedures. The course also emphasizes the importance of safety, with modules on health and safety legislation, PPE, and risk assessment methods.

Inspection, testing, and fault finding are covered in detail to prepare learners for hands-on roles and ensure they can carry out essential checks using professional tools and testing equipment. The course also introduces learners to key regulatory frameworks, including the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations and Part P of the Building Regulations, with attention to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility.

With practical assessments, mock exams, and real-world fault simulations, learners gain the confidence and competence needed for progression. This course sets the foundation for those aiming to pursue a full City & Guilds Level 2 qualification or an electrical installation apprenticeship.
