The first step for this route to becoming a fully qualified electrician with Learn Trade Skills is to take on our Professional Electrician Package Course.

This course consists of 10–18 weeks of training, exams, and assessments, with each class being limited to 10-12 candidates to ensure each individual gets the teaching needed to ensure confidence in their own ability to start working in the industry. Employment support also comes with the package to ensure those new to the industry are able to get to a working capacity in the most efficient way possible.

The UK government recently announced significant reforms aimed at revolutionising vocational training, specifically emphasising diploma routes and structured training centre-based education. These reforms aim to enhance skills across vital sectors, notably construction and electrical trades, and provide clear pathways from education to employment.
At Learn Trade Skills, we’re proud to support individuals at all stages of their career journey — from complete beginners to fully qualified electricians. One of those individuals is Ike, a determined and focused student who recently completed his Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365) and is now progressing into Level 3 as part of our Gold Card Package. In this article, Ike shares his personal experience of switching careers, mastering new skills, and growing both professionally and personally. His story highlights what’s possible with the right training, structure, and support.
Earlier this week, the UK government announced a £275 million investment into technical training and apprenticeships as part of a new industrial strategy aimed at tackling skills shortages and boosting homegrown talent in key sectors like engineering, defence, and digital manufacturing. For many, this signals a renewed national commitment to vocational education and economic regeneration. But for those of us on the frontlines of technical training — delivering hands-on courses to the next generation of electricians, engineers, and skilled tradespeople — it raises a vital question: is this truly the transformation our sector has been waiting for, or just another political headline?
Learn Trade Skills (LTS) is a Vocational Training Centre based in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire that specialises in training electricians.
