Domestic Electrician Level 3

Contact Salt Training Limited directly on 01227 204444 or email apprenticeshipsinfo@salt-college.co.uk

This occupation is found in the domestic dwelling construction, engineering and social housing installation and maintenance electrician industries. Domestic electricians work in domestic properties such as homes, dwellings, or individual units in e.g. care homes, apartment buildings and student accommodation, rather than in their communal areas, or on commercial or industrial building sites. Industrial and Commercial Electrician work is not undertaken by a Domestic Electrician.

Domestic electricians may work for small independent businesses or for providers of homes and residential services such as local authorities and housing associations, housing construction companies, care homes, electric utility companies and other companies providing electro-technical services to the residential market. Once qualified, some domestic electricians may choose to become self-employed contractors.

A Domestic Electrician Apprenticeship is the ideal way to develop the practical skills and knowledge needed for a successful career in the electrical industry. Working alongside experienced professionals, you'll learn how to install, test, inspect and maintain electrical systems and equipment across a range of domestic properties, ensuring all work meets current wiring regulations and safety standards.

Training can be delivered in a variety of ways to meet the needs of both the employer and apprentice, including:

• One day per week at our training centre (day release)
• Block release, where apprentices attend training for a number of consecutive days at agreed intervals
• Training delivered at the employer's premises where appropriate

Throughout the programme, apprentices will receive support from an experienced trainer, who will carry out regular workplace reviews and provide guidance to help them develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the apprenticeship standard.

Apprentices will complete practical training, build a portfolio of evidence, and prepare for their End-Point Assessment.

Apprentices must secure an employer that is willing to support them through the apprenticeship and provide a role that aligns with the apprenticeship. English and maths qualifications must be completed in line with the apprenticeship funding rules.
