The Electrical installation Advanced Apprenticeship is delivered over a three year period. You will either attend college one day a week or on block release (1 week in every 3-4 weeks) depending on the college you attend.
As an Electrical Installation Apprentice you will help to fit, test and repair the electrical circuits and wiring found in homes and businesses. Your work may range from fitting a bathroom shower circuit in a customers’ home to laying equipment cabling in a new office development.
Your duties will include:
· Working from plans to fit wiring, sockets and points
· Carrying out an initial installation- fitting wiring along wall cavities and through ceilings and floors
· Fitting fuse boxes, circuit breakers and earth terminals
· Mounting back-boxes on walls to take plug sockets and points
On commercial projects your tasks would be on a larger scale, for example:
· Installing fire alarms and security systems like CCTV
· Inspecting and testing wiring systems and equipment
You will need good practical skills to work with hand and power tools. You will need a commitment to keep up to date with industry developments and have a methodical approach to work. The ability to pay close attention to detail is very important, as is being able to work unsupervised and as part of a team.
