Domestic Electrician Package

Yes, you will be able to carry out domestic electrical work after successfully completing the course. This means both minor electrical works such as adding to or making a change to an existing electrical circuit, and notifiable electrical work. With notifiable electrical work it is important to note that building control must be notified.

The simple answer is we are not cheap and there is no catch, some of our competitors are simply over pricing and uncompetitive! We manage all of our business costs with close scrutiny so that we can keep all of our overheads as low as possible and not pass any additional costs on to our customers. This in turn allows us to be competitive and realistic with our course prices.

Yes, you can. Each of the course modules can be booked as a standalone course using the drop down menu at the top of the page. We would suggest keeping the courses in the order you find them in Domestic Electrician Package.

If you wanted to break the payments up into more manageable chunks, consider our pay as you train option. You can purchase the online material for £390, and then put down a deposit of £600 to secure your in centre training dates. The balance for your in centre training will then be due 21 days before your training starts.

After completing your course there’s nothing to stop you going out and carrying out electrical work straight away. If you wanted to expand your knowledge and skills, you could consider our Level 3 Inspection and Testing Package. This will teach you how to test three phase circuits that tend to be found in commercial environments as well as how to carry out periodic inspection and testing. If you are considering joining a Part P scheme provider in the future, find out more here.

Absolutely not. You will be able to undertake non-notifiable and notifiable work, as long as building control are notified.

There are several options open to you. One possible route is finding a local electrician who you can work alongside to gain the relevant experience. You can always carry out minor works as more of a gentle introduction to the industry and if any notifiable work does come up you can go through building control yourself. If you want to slowly build your confidence up carrying out work for family is always a possibility.  After completing your course you will also be invited to join our EC4U alumni, a supportive network of other electricians who have trained at EC4U. You can use this forum to seek advice, ask questions and find fellow electricians who may be able to offer you experience.

Once you have completed the course you will be invited to our unique, customer only forum. This is made up entirely of our previous customers who have all completed the same course as you. It can act as a great place for you to network with other electricians, and provides a warm and inclusive environment. We also provide a dedicated technical helpline for all our customers that will take you straight through to one of experienced trainers who will be able to offer support. Read more about our after course support here.

No, absolutely not. Gold Card is just one route you can take when becoming an electrician. If you are considering applying for a Gold Card in the future, find out more here.
