Electrician / Electrical Engineering
About our Electrical courses
These programmes are aimed at technically minded people, who have the ability to think logically and put plans into practice. Just about everything connects to (or was made using) electricity. Every new building, from house to office park, needs electricians to make it work. Older buildings need maintenance, repairs and upgrades. The global trend to greener, more efficient technology requires electricians to gain experience on new & changing technology. A good electrician is a busy electrician.
