The Best Industry-Led Basic Electrical Course in the UK: Built by the Trade, for the Trade
In the UK trades industry, competence, safety, and professionalism are more important than ever. Yet too many new entrants and cross-skilled workers are trained in outdated ways — focused on theory, not reality. As both the CEO of Learn Trade Skills
and WireNow, and a qualified Site Manager, I’ve seen this gap firsthand. That’s why we developed our Basic Electrical Course — a programme built by the industry, for the industry, officially approved by EAL, and packed with integrated CPD (Continuing Professional Development) modules.
In this article, I’ll explain why this course is setting a new benchmark for practical training in the UK, how the CPD elements address the exact safety challenges reported by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
, and how it helps individuals and employers meet real industry needs.
