The Electrotechnical Skills Partnership (TESP)
TESP strives to maintain high standards of relevant, valued vocational training; inspire young people to choose electrotechnical careers, support re-training and upskilling, provide useful information about valid career routes and ensure qualifications are robust, rigorous and meaningful.
Electrical Training Routes
Take a look at the routes to becoming a qualified electrician whether it’s via an apprenticeship or another path.
When you’re researching electrical training courses – please take our advice!
Some training providers sell courses that don’t fit with what the industry would class as ‘qualified’. You could spend thousands and end up being out of pocket with qualifications that are not recognised by the electrical industry and do not give you the full range of skills needed.
We want to help you avoid these ‘Rogue Trainers’ – training providers that are more concerned with taking your money than giving you the right qualification.
