Why LTS Is Hertfordshire's Top Choice
Dual Accreditation
LTS is accredited by both City & Guilds and EAL — the two main awarding bodies for electrical qualifications in the UK. This means:
EAL: Basic Electrical, Fire Alarms, Emergency Lighting, PAT Testing
All qualifications are nationally recognised and accepted by employers, competent person schemes, and the JIB.
Purpose-Built Training Centre
LTS operates from a dedicated training facility in Cheshunt with:
Fully equipped workshops for practical installation work
Modern classroom facilities for theory sessions
Industry-standard test equipment and tools
Small class sizes for individual attention
Employment Connections
LTS partners with Wire Now to connect graduates with job opportunities across Hertfordshire, London, and the Home Counties. This direct link between training and employment gives LTS graduates a head start in finding work. Read more about the LTS and Wire Now training-to-employment pipeline.
Hertfordshire has one of the strongest electrical industry job markets in the UK, driven by:
Data centres — the county hosts a growing cluster of hyperscale data centres requiring qualified electricians for construction, maintenance, and expansion
Film and TV studios — major production facilities across Hertfordshire creating demand for skilled electrical contractors
Housing development — significant residential building programmes throughout the county
Commercial property — office, retail, and industrial development generating ongoing electrical work
Infrastructure — transport, utilities, and public sector projects requiring qualified electrical workers
What About Government Funding for Hertfordshire Residents?
Government programmes such as Skills Bootcamps, Advanced Learner Loans, the Adult Education Budget, and Hertfordshire County Council grants do exist — but they come with significant limitations. LTS does not offer any government-funded training, loans, grants, or free courses. All LTS courses are fee-charged.
Skills Bootcamps — free for unemployed learners, but electrical bootcamps are rarely available in Hertfordshire and places fill quickly when they are.
Advanced Learner Loans — cover Level 3+ qualifications at certain providers, but come with interest charges, a weeks-long application process, and restricted provider choice.
Hertfordshire County Council grants — periodically available for skills shortage occupations, but sporadic, competitive, and not guaranteed.
Adult Education Budget (AEB) — strict eligibility criteria mean most employed adults do not qualify.
Why most Hertfordshire residents choose LTS: You can start training immediately at a centre right on your doorstep in Cheshunt — no waiting lists, no funding applications, no uncertainty. 0% interest payment plans, no credit check, and a clear fast-track route to Gold Card. While government-funded programmes may take months to materialise, you could already be training. For a full comparison, see our funded electrician training guide.
