Your training
The apprentice will complete the Installation and Maintenance Electrician Apprenticeship through a combination of off‑the‑job training and practical site experience.
The apprentice will attend Newbury College one day per week, where they will study the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for the apprenticeship standard. This will include electrical principles, regulations, safe working practices and preparation for assessment.
For the remaining four days per week, the apprentice will work on site alongside experienced engineers and electricians. This on‑the‑job training will involve hands‑on experience installing, testing, maintaining and fault‑finding electrical systems in real working environments, while building competence and confidence under supervision.
Where it leads
Upon successful completion of the Installation Electrician Apprenticeship, apprentices will be offered a permanent position and can continue to develop their skills as a qualified electrician. With experience and further training, they can progress into senior, supervisory, specialist, or management roles, providing a clear pathway for long-term career development within the business.
