 The UK’s leading trainer for the electrical industry
At Trade Skills 4U we offer a comprehensive range of
professional qualifications for the electrical trades,
together with customised training programmes for
electrical teams working in specialist industries.
We lead the market, not only because of the number of
qualifications that we deliver each year, but also in terms
of our expertise.
We are determined to drive training standards forward
in the electrical industry and we were the first specialist
electrical training centre in the UK to be certified as a
IET centre of excellence.
Our training programmes go beyond the qualifications in
order to ensure our students leave their courses feeling
completely competent.
‘‘ The trainers have a friendly, ‘we’ll get you through it’
approach. They have done the job themselves, so
they are able to relate the theory to practical
examples from their own experience... this makes it
so much easier to absorb the information.
