Essentially electricians are skilled, qualified tradesmen who install, maintain and repair electrical circuits. They can work in and industrial, commercial or residential setting depending on their qualifications.
For residential customers your main duties will be fitting fuse boxes, wiring wall cavities, fitting sockets and switches, connecting wiring to sockets and light fittings, amongst many other things. Commercial jobs may include fitting security systems including CCTV and fire alarms.
To work as an electrician there are a number of different qualifications you will need to achieve depending on the area you want to work in. If you are 24 or under you can take the apprenticeship route, if you are older you will need to gain City and Guilds Technical Certificates before you move onto the NVQ’s/SNVQ’s.
We will cover all of these topics in more detail in a later post.
