My Journey Into the Electrical Trade: From Site Work to the Gold Card Dream

A New Start in Cheshunt: Discovering the Gold Card Electrical Course

Before I joined Learn Trade Skills in Cheshunt, I had a typical background working in construction and various other trades. Being hands-on wasn’t new to me—but the electrical industry was. It wasn’t until a friend of mine, who had already enrolled in the Gold Card Package, recommended the training centre, that I seriously considered making the switch.

He had nothing but positive things to say about the tutors, the structure of the course, and the opportunities that came with it. That really gave me the confidence to take the plunge. And I can honestly say—it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Learning From the Best: The Impact of an Excellent Teacher

When it comes to education, especially in a fast-paced trade like electrics, your teacher makes all the difference. I was fortunate enough to be taught by Lloyd—an instructor who not only knows the trade inside out, but has a way of explaining things that just clicks.

I genuinely believe that if I didn’t have a tutor like him, I wouldn’t have felt prepared for any of my exams. His teaching methods, the content he delivers, and the way he brings practical lessons to life—it all helped me build real confidence in my abilities.

Hands-On, Fast-Paced, and Rewarding

The Level 2 and Level 3 2365 qualifications are intense. The Gold Card electrical course is designed to fast-track your progress, but that doesn’t mean it skimps on quality. What really surprised me was how quickly we moved from theory to hands-on practicals. You’re given responsibility and the chance to prove yourself early on, which is something I really appreciated. After Level 2 and 3 2365, I will move on to the rest of the electrical courses in the package

Once you wire your first circuit or install your first board, there’s a real sense of pride that hits you. You know you’re building a trade skill that will serve you for life. And even though the pace is quick, the structure of the course makes it very digestible. It becomes easy to wrap your head around complex ideas when they’re taught in such an engaging and structured way.

From Labouring to Landing Top Opportunities

Even though I came from a construction background, this course helped me realise how much more I could do. I had experience on site, sure—but this training opened new doors in the electrical sector, where the standards and professionalism are much higher.

Since starting the course, I’ve had job offers from high-end electrical companies, some of the top names in the industry. I never thought I’d be considered for roles like that so early on in my journey. But this course gave me not just the skills, but the confidence to approach these companies—and I was accepted.

Training in Waltham Cross, Serving Hertfordshire and Beyond

Learn Trade Skills is located in Cheshunt, right next to Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire. It’s ideally placed for anyone in Enfield, Broxbourne, Hoddesdon, and surrounding areas who’s looking to make a move into the electrical industry.

The facilities are modern, the classrooms are fully equipped, and there’s plenty of support if you ever need help. It’s more than just a training centre—it’s a place where tradespeople are built, encouraged, and guided towards real success.

Why I Recommend the Gold Card Package

If you’re serious about becoming a qualified electrician and you’re looking for something comprehensive, the Gold Card Package is 100% the way to go. It includes:

• Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365)
• Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365)
• 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (2382)
• Part P Building Regulations (2393)
• Inspection and Testing (2391-52)
• NVQ Level 3 Electrical Installation (2357)

It takes you from a beginner with little or no experience all the way through to a fully qualified JIB Gold Card electrician.

And trust me, coming from someone who was once labouring on sites, the transformation is life-changing.

Final Thoughts: Building a Future with Learn Trade Skills

I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far. I came into this as someone just looking for a better future, and now I’m on track to become a fully qualified electrician with job offers already lined up. Learn Trade Skills has been instrumental in that journey.
