There are many bundles of short courses offered by a variety of providers, some of these imply that an individual can become a ‘domestic installer’ or in some cases a ‘fully qualified electrician’ by completing these courses, unfortunately this is not usually the case.

Domestic Installer

To become a ‘domestic installer’ an individual is usually required to join a competent person scheme and it is the scheme and provider who verifies the competence of the individual, taking into account the relevance of any qualifications held.

We are now pleased to be able offer a course which has been specially developed by EAL to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to enable them to join a competent person scheme, (although we always advise that individuals check with their chosen scheme provider before enrolling onto the course).
