This is a 3 year electrical installation course involving wiring and testing as well as understanding electrical scientific principles and technology.

An Electrical Installation Engineer is responsible for installing, testing and maintaining low voltage electrical devices and appliances in a domestic or commercial setting.

Core responsibilities:

Electricians may work on the installation, initial verification and testing, commissioning, and maintenance of low voltage (up to and including 1000 V or AC 1500 V DC) electrical and electronic equipment. Electricians can also work on the maintenance of electrical and electronic installations including automated production systems. Electricians may work in both indoor and outdoor settings on a range of electrical equipment and systems. They can work on their own proficiently and work without immediate supervision in the most efficient and economical manner.

In their daily work, a worker in this occupation interacts with:

• Their customers who are usually the contracting company or they may be the end user of the services.

• The Team Leader or Area Manager as well as personnel responsible for materials storage and supply if they work in an organisation.

• Workers in other construction trades who may be working on the same site at the same time.

• Building materials suppliers, merchants, small business support, and others if they are self-employed.

• An electrician will sometimes work within a team or supervise a small team and may often be accompanied an apprentice.

Learners will begin the course at our HETA site and stay there until November. After that, they’ll move on to their workplace, spending three weeks with their employer and one week back at the HETA training center.

HETA's entry requirements are a minimum of 4 GCSEs - grades 5-9 (or A*-C) including:

• Maths
• English
• Science
• Additional GCSE

As well as Level 3 qualifications, HETA also offer a two year Higher National Certificate (Level 4) and a one year Higher National Diploma (Level 5). Learners may have the opportunity to enrol on the following programmes within the second year of their apprenticeship programme. HNC’s and HND’s are a great route to moving on to higher-level qualifications; you can do extra studies working with our university partners to top up the HND into a full degree.

Completing Higher level qualifications like HNC’s and HND’s give you great opportunities in your career. Not only are you more competent but also gives you a stepping stone into senior and management roles.
