Training to become an Electrician can be split into two main areas. The first area of any training is practical experience and this is arguable the most important. The second area is qualifications. Although in our opinion, not as important as experience, its importance has increased since Part P of the building regulations were introduced in 2005.
The route to gaining the necessary experience to work as an electrician can be taken in one of two ways. The first is to take an apprenticeship, this is the traditional way. Its downside is the amount of time that needs to be invested, typically 4 years. This almost always means that this route is taken by the younger generations. You may also find it difficult to find a company willing to train an older worker using this method.
