Course description
With an electrotechnical qualification you will be a qualified electrician, able to work on domestic dwellings. This qualification covers the knowledge, skills and competencies required by a domestic electrician. This includes the design, installation and testing of systems which provide heating, power and lighting, plus the installation of new and emerging technologies.
Domestic electricians work in properties such as homes, dwellings, or individual units e.g. care homes, apartment buildings and student accommodation, rather than in their communal areas, or on commercial or industrial building sites. Industrial and commercial electrician work is not undertaken by a domestic electrician.
Domestic electricians may work for small independent businesses or for providers of homes and residential services such as local authorities and housing associations, housing construction companies, care homes, electric utility companies and other companies providing electrotechnical services to the residential market. Once qualified, some domestic electricians may choose to become self-employed contractors.
