OUR FAQS

How do weekend electrician courses compare to weekday ones?

They cover the exact same content, qualifications, and assessments — the only difference is the delivery schedule. Weekend courses are designed for those who can’t commit to full-time weekday training.

Will these electrician weekend courses make me fully qualified?

They’re a vital part of your journey. After completing your weekend training (Level 2, Level 3, and 18th Edition), you’ll need to complete your NVQ Level 3 and AM2 assessment to achieve fully qualified status and apply for your JIB Gold Card.

Do you provide any post-training support?

Yes, we believe that our commitment to our students continues even after they have completed their courses. We provide post-training support to help our students navigate their new careers with confidence.

Where are the weekend electrician courses held?

All of our weekend electrician courses run from our Essex training centre, which is fully equipped with modern classrooms and hands-on training bays that replicate real-world electrical environments.

What support do I get after my course?

We’ll guide you through the next steps, whether that’s moving onto Level 3, taking your 18th Edition weekend course, or enrolling in the 2391 weekend course. Our tutors and advisors will help map out the best route to becoming a fully qualified electrician.
