Your questions answered

We’ve answered the questions we hear most often to help you understand what’s included, how the course works, and what to expect from your training.

Traditional electrician apprenticeships typically take three to four years to complete, although there are fast-track options available at certain colleges and/or for individuals with pre-existing skills or qualifications. A standard electrical apprenticeship involves one day a week at college and four days within a related job role. The market for apprenticeship roles can be competitive, and is mainly geared towards people who are fresh out of school. That’s why we launched Earn While You Learn, which is a bit like a fast-track electrical apprenticeship that’s suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Course fees depend on the pathway you pick. Essential, Professional and Premium are each priced as a package, and interest-free instalment plans are available. Your advisor will walk you through the total cost before you commit to anything.

Site labourer roles typically pay £10.65–£14.00 per hour depending on the site and the region, which works out at roughly £2,000–£2,300 a month for full-time hours. Pay rises as you qualify and take on skilled work.

Once you hold your CSCS card and have completed the induction, our recruitment team puts you forward for roles from a network of 300+ live site vacancies. We keep arranging interviews until you are placed.

We match you to employers hiring near you, brief you on the role and run through interview preparation beforehand. Interviews are usually a short site or phone conversation about availability, travel and the training you have completed.

No. It is a private qualification route that combines paid on-site work with recognised training, and it is not affiliated with any UK Government apprenticeship scheme. If a government-funded apprenticeship is what you want, gov.uk lists the current programmes.
