Electrical Skills Workshop

In this course, learners will acquire the knowledge and skills required to install electrical circuits typical in domestic environments, including socket circuits, lighting circuits, and circuits for showers, cookers, and fans. They will also learn to work safely, ensuring that installations are properly isolated. The course will cover the use of 70-degree thermoplastic flat cables (twin and earth) and include wiring circuits from consumer units, along with conducting basic tests to verify the safety of the installations before they are energised.

This course aims to impart a fundamental knowledge of electrical circuits. Individuals aspiring to perform electrical work independently are advised to pursue further training to become qualified electricians.

• Safe isolation
• Installation of power and lighting circuits
• Alterations and additions to existing  circuits including: Socket circuits (adding extra, and replacing sockets and fuse spurs)
