How to become an electrical apprentice
Becoming an apprentice is an exciting, but sometimes daunting, career path. As a young person, you might find it hard to find an employer willing to take you on or find a training course that suits you.
Here at Rebus Training, we’re very proud to offer apprentices an industry-leading apprenticeship programme focusing on support both on and off the job. We’ll help you gain the skills you need to build your career - and will also help you find an employer to give you the real-world experience you need.
Why train as an electrical apprentice?
- Learn from qualified electricians as you train
- Earn while you learn
- Blend on-the-job training with theory and qualifications
- Become a qualified electrician in a lucrative industry with a skills shortage
What you’ll learn on our apprenticeship
Rebus Training is the region’s only one-stop shop for electrical apprenticeships and you will be able to study every aspect of the apprenticeship right here at our dedicated electrical training centre. Subject to any prior learning you may have, qualifications may include:
- City & Guilds 5357 Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification
- Level 2 Functional Skills in maths
- Level 2 Functional Skills in English
- Level 3 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
- City & Guilds 2391-50 Level 3 Inspection and Testing * T&C's apply
- End Point Assessment – AM2s Assessment
You will typically be working with an Electrical Contractor and will complete a range of qualifications to achieve qualified status in the Electrotechnical industry. You will attend our approved training centre to study towards the City & Guilds 5357 Level 3 during a 3-year day release programme. When not at our training centre, you will be gaining hands-on experience working alongside your employer. This is a valuable learning time when you can practice what you have been taught and can learn additional skills from experienced electricians that you work with.
