Some of the work that an Electrician will be expected to do is:
Install, maintain and repair electrical services (e.g. lighting, sockets, fire alarms, emergency lighting and heating controls etc.)
Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to work at height

This is done by helping you via our meetings and delivering the training to the highest of standards and expectations.
