Hi

Slightly off topic but I went on one of their 5 day plastering courses ran on Saturdays.
Absolutly brilliant - I can't stress how great the tutor was - very relaxed and wasn't put off by me asking him the same questions again.
I've now finished plastering the majority of my house and I can't believe the standard I've achieved - I've even had friends ask me do stuff at their homes.

More relevantly to this site I did the EAL domestic Installer course last year and again Dave the tutor really knew his stuff and answered a lot of my questions regarding Part P.

The course started with the various relevant building regs and Part P. Then there was earthing and bonding, Domestic wiring - lighting and power ccts, testing and inspection and how to fill in the forms and a brief touch on 3 phase systems - there was some other parts which I can't remember now.

Don't get me wrong it hasn't made me a sparky overnight but it has put me in the right direction and the content was great.

hope this helps

Andy

Andy,

Thank you for the positive feedback, I'm glad that you enjoyed the course and that you have gone on to use those skills.

If anyone has any questions regarding any of the courses that we offer at the training centre please let me know.

All the best,
Dave

Hi All,

I want you to be the first to know of a new package that I am offering for electrical training. We currently offer the Domestic Installer course (PART P), and the 17th edition course but from June I will be offering a foundation domestic electrical installers course which will be practical based.

All attendees will have their own training area and testers, and you will carryout your own practical installation work and fully test your work and complete certs, extend circuits and test and complete certs, change a consumer unit and test and complete certs. As you can tell the course is aimed at giving people practical skills and confidence in completing installations and tests. You will still need to attend the domestic installer course and complete the 17th edition course within 12 months of registering with ELESCA but this course is aimed at people who have little practical experience.

The cost for all 3 courses is being offered at £1500 in VAT. Individually they cost; Foundation - £395, Domestic Installer - £775, 17th edition - £450.

Any questions then drop me a line or check the website next week for more details.

All the best,
Dave

Hi all this is my first post so be gentle! I did the 5 day Domestic Installers Course a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! It is quite intensive but hey what do you expect fitting it all in in a week! :O) they are a very approachable company and the training is of a very high quality, mainly because the tutor is a electrical contractor in his own right! so he knows the in's n outs so to speak?

hopefully will be booking to go on the testing course which is being setup at the moment by Dave.

Ps there a cracking sandwhich van round the corner lol.....
