Brief Description
This City and Guilds accredited 9 day programme is offered across 3 parts, with the Basic, Advanced Stage One and Advanced Stage Two programmes each consisting of a 3 day programme. This is specifically structured to aid technicians progression and allows for suitable on-site consolidation of training prior to delivery of the next part. In addition, it assists the maintenance manager in meeting the legal requirements for employee competence in electrical work.
After the completion of the 9 days training we also offer an on site consolidation process which enables the practical skills learnt to be assessed in the workplace on a regular basis and ensures the engineer maintains the skills necessary to perform the job in hand
