Our 10-day Domestic Electrical Installer courses here at YTA serve a specific purpose of giving you greater knowledge and understanding of how home electrics work, provided that you already work in the electrical or a related industry.

These DEI courses are not, then, geared towards those who have no qualifications in electricals or no involvement in a related field. Instead, a DEI certificate is often acquired by those who wish to carry out electrical work to the highest standard as a task that is otherwise secondary to their main line of work.

You may therefore be a heating installer, bathroom and kitchen fitter, builder or domestic appliance installer – to name just some of the possibilities – who is looking towards our Domestic Electrical Installer courses as a means of enhancing your skills and capability.

It is recommended that you undertake this course, for example, if your LOGIC Certification Defined or Full Scope Part P certificate has expired or is on the verge of doing so. In that case, the course can be an invaluable part of your Continuous Professional Development (CPD), in part because it covers all areas that have been updated or changed since the BS7671:2018 the 18^th Edition Wiring Regulations were introduced.

What will you learn about on this acclaimed course?

As you might expect given their 10-day duration, our Domestic Electrical Installer courses provide training and assessment in a wide range of key areas. These include such subjects as component exchange, applicable building regulations, electrical safety legislation, safe isolation procedures, electrical test procedures, earthing and bonding requirements, and much more.

Also incorporated into these courses are other vital elements like how you can identify unsafe electrical situations, the maintenance of domestic electrical installations, domestic lighting circuits, cable components and the installation and replacement of electrical components and fittings.

With this course also giving you access to a very large electrical training bay that’ll enable you to concentrate fully on learning the skills you need, and assessment being carried out using various methods including multiple choice, short written response and scenario questions and observed practical tasks, YTA is the only training centre you’ll need to contact. Give the YTA team a call today, on 01274 682199 or 07400 922788, or send us an email, and we’ll be able to answer any lingering queries you may have about our Domestic Electrical Installer courses – whatever your background, preferences and requirements. 

How much do you reckon you could learn within the space of 10 days? Certainly, few of us could hope to be motivated enough or even sufficiently well-equipped to acquire all of the skills necessary to set ourselves on our way to a fruitful carpentry and joinery career in that small amount of time.

This is precisely what is possible, however, for those who take on our highly regarded 10-day Level 1 carpentry and joinery course.

Nor is it merely a whole new level of capability that this course enables you to acquire, as you will also be able to obtain a full qualification at the conclusion of your time with us. From potentially no prior experience in carpentry and joinery at all, right through to being able to embark on an exciting new career, it’s quite the transformation that you could undergo with our help!

So, what is contained within the course?

Our 10-day Level 1 carpentry and joinery course comprises a total of five NOCN Cskills Level 1 units – namely health and safety in construction trades; communicating effectively in construction trades; constructing wooden joints; fitting architrave and skirting; and fitting ironmongery to an internal door.

The successful completion of all five assessments will entitle you to the NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery, which could be just the start of a long and rewarding new life as a carpenter and joiner, possibly also leading to you obtaining a Cskills NVQ Level 2 qualification in Site Carpentry.

A wide range of stages and tasks is packed into the 10 days, beginning with how to use the basic hand tools associated with the trade, right through to the construction of a stud partition wall with a doorway, the hanging of a door including the fitting of its locks, the fitting of skirting and mouldings with external and internal corners, and so much more.

We are an especially ‘hands-on’ construction training centre here at YTA, which will be more than apparent when you enrol on our widely respected and acclaimed intensive 5-day plastering course.

The beauty of this course – aside from its excellent value for money – is that it covers so much ground in such a short space of time, that it is suitable for those with all manner of backgrounds and motivations. You might be a complete novice as far as any skilled trade is concerned, or you may be a seasoned tradesperson looking to add a skill to your repertoire. Alternatively, you might simply be a DIY enthusiast who would like to learn how to plaster your own property.

Regardless of what the situation is for you, our intensive 5-day plastering course is a highly rewarding one, not least given that you’ll get an entire spacious plaster training bay to yourself, as well as a pleasing student-to-instructor ratio of no more than 5:1.

All of the key plastering scenarios covered

You could be presented with any of a broad range of situations and tasks as an amateur or professional plaster. It’s therefore just as well that each of our 2.4-metre by 2.4-metre training bays – which are larger than most small bedrooms or bathrooms – gives you an assortment of scenarios, including stud wall, block wall, pre-skimmed wall, a window, a block wall corner and a ceiling.

Such large training bays give you plenty of scope to practice and perfect your plastering technique, with regard to everything from ceiling plastering and repair to boarding up stud walls and ceilings and setting bonding beads. Also included are such related elements as full measuring, in-depth quoting, the business start-up process and marketing techniques.

Not all of the above might be relevant to the specific path that you intend to take in relation to your future plastering endeavours. Nonetheless, it’s great to learn such skills so that you can gain a rounded picture of what life as an amateur or professional plasterer entails, and so that you are as well-equipped as possible to plot the most fruitful future for yourself.

Potentially just the first step of a remarkable plastering career

Of course, even the most impressive and comprehensive 5-day plastering course can’t possibly cover everything. That’s just one more reason why we would urge you to consider the potential relevance of any of our other well-reviewed and trusted plastering courses here at YTA, stretching over two, five or 10 days and even giving you the opportunity to obtain a full level 1 qualification, if you wish.

Call the YTA team now on 01274 682199 or 07400922788, or email info@ytatraining.com to receive further guidance as to whether our intensive 5-day plastering course could be the ideal first step for you en route to an immensely satisfying future as a plasterer.

Have you been let go from your previous role and fancy a change in career to become a bricklayer, or are you simply looking to acquire the capability to undertake home DIY projects such as the construction of a BBQ, garden wall or garage?

Whatever your exact needs – from beginner to advanced – our NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Bricklaying course could take you a long way in the space of just 10 days.

Become a skilled bricklayer, and gain a trusted qualification to boot

As the name of the course indicates, our Level 1 Certificate in Bricklaying course gives you a full qualification on completion, subject to you passing five Cskills assessments.

This programme effectively combines a five-day intensive bricklaying course with a subsequent five-day advanced bricklaying course. The latter incorporates NOCN Cskills Level 1 assessments across five units covering health and safety in construction trades, effective communication in construction trades, building a brick wall, building a block wall and building a cavity wall.

Cskills Awards, by the way, is the current awarding body for construction NVQs, and is now part of NOCN Group, having previously been owned by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). Both Cskills Awards and NOCN are among the most instantly recognisable brands in the UK construction sector, so you won’t have to worry about the reputability of your qualification.

Covering vast ground, at dates and times to suit you

While you will certainly learn a lot on our 10-day Certificate in Bricklaying course – including the likes of trowel skills, how to build brick, block and cavity walls and even about such specialised subjects as different brickwork bonds and lintel installation – we also realise here at YTA that flexibility may be just as important to you in any training route you take.

That’s why you may well greatly appreciate the option that we give you to split the course into two separate weeks in accordance with your needs, and at no extra cost. So, whether you really need a course that you can fit around other personal or professional commitments, or you would simply appreciate a breather halfway through the course, we can bring you the perfect package.

Would you like to learn more about where our 10-day NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Bricklaying course could take your life, career or simply your next project? You’re even welcome to visit our premises and chat to students taking the course before making your own booking, if you like.
