Training -> Electrical

We provide a wide range of Electrical Training, offering competence based
assessment where possible.

We are an approved JTL Comp’EX’ Assessment Centre, one of only 11 nationally,
offering EX01, EX02, EX03 and EX04 Assessments for full Comp’EX’ and
Comp’EX’ Refresher.

We are also an approved City & Guilds Centre for Electrical Training and
Examinations, offering this in our own centre and on customer premises,
with online testing available at both if facilities permit.

In recent years we have made a significant investment in our Electrical Training
resources and now offer a greatly expanded range of scheduled courses. We can
also provide tailor made solutions if clients require this.
