Electrical Installation - Level 1 Diploma
- Ammanford Campus
Building trades are highly sought after skills which are in high demand within a fast and vast growing industry. This level one programme introduces students to general electrical skills allowing students to learn, develop and practise the skills required for employment and/or career progression as an electrician.
You do not need to have any prior experience of electrical installation or be working in the construction industry as the course is delivered in a training environment using simulated conditions to allow you to explore what you can do as an individual. Whilst this qualification will not allow you to be an electrician, it will help you build the skills and knowledge for progression to further study.
