Electrical Installation & Maintenance Apprenticeship

The Electrical Contracting Industry is part of the Construction Industry and therefore, Electricians are generally responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of electrical services. These can be found both inside and outside of buildings and structures such as Houses, Hospitals, Schools, Factories and Shops etc. However, all Electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills that enable them to carry out their work both safely and correctly.
