We all depend heavily on the electrical systems in our homes, but if you work principally in a related trade – such as heating installation, bathroom and kitchen fitting or the installation of domestic appliances – you may not feel that your expertise in electrics is at quite the level it should be.

This helps to explain why so many professionals and homeowners like you look up Domestic Electrical Installer courses – and here at YTA, we have the ideal 10-day course that will enable you to become better-versed in home electrics.

Who is this course actually for?

Domestic Electrical Installer courses are also sometimes referred to as DEI courses; either way, the main principle behind them is the same. They allow people working within the electrical or related industries to upgrade their knowhow in electrics, which may be especially important for those who need to carry out electrical work as a secondary task.

But of course, it may also simply be the case that you wish to take on a course like this to boost your capabilities whenever you find yourself concerned about the electrics in your own home.

The important thing to emphasise is that this course is not for people with no electrical or related qualifications or experience, and who wish to become electricians. If you are at all uncertain about the suitability of our Domestic Electrical Installer courses for your own needs, you are welcome to call the YTA team at any time, on 01274 682199, for further guidance.

You’ll be trained and assessed in a wide range of areas

With domestic electrical installation being the highly specialised field that it is, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that our own DEI training and assessment package touches on a broad assortment of aspects of this vital and sensitive work.

Those aspects encompass component exchange, applicable building regulations, electrical safety regulations, earthing and bonding requirements, electrical test procedures, the installation and replacement of electrical components and fittings, and much more.

Furthermore, as a student with us, you’ll be helped to learn what you need to learn by our small class sizes – only four students being allowed onto each course – and large electrical training bays.

The training and assessment process itself combines practical with theoretical elements, and if you satisfy the standards, you will be presented with the industry-recognised DEI certificate that will remain valid for five years.

Secure your place now on our next DEI course

Our Domestic Electrical Installer courses only run once every few months, so if you see a start date advertised on our website that works especially well for you, we would advise you to book it before all of the remaining spaces are gone. 

As the UK’s leading construction training and assessment centre, with an average rating of 4.95/5 on Reviews.co.uk, we’re the company to which to turn for your DEI certificate!

As one of the UK’s most respected construction training and assessment centres here at YTA, we’re very mindful of the fact that if you are seeking to enrol on a course like those we provide, you may well be investing a significant amount of money to do so. You will therefore only wish to receive training that is absolutely relevant to your needs, and not pay for any training that isn’t.

This is why it is so vital for us to make clear exactly who our Domestic Electrical Installer training and assessment package is for, and who it isn’t for.

It is not for those who have never before worked in the trades and who therefore wish to be trained in electrical work ‘from the ground up’; instead, it is geared to the requirements of people with prior experience of working in the electrical or related industries.

So, when we say that our Domestic Electrical Installer training and assessment package is ‘complete’, precisely how complete is it for those of you who undertake electrical work as a secondary task and wish to upgrade your skills in this crucial area?

The perfect mix of well-judged practical and theoretical elements

You may enrol on this course with few firm ambitions other than to better understand your own home’s electrical systems. Alternatively, you might wish to become a domestic electrical installer, adding to your existing capabilities as a builder, domestic appliance fitter, bathroom and kitchen fitter or heating installer.

Whatever your exact situation, you can look forward to an excellent mix of practical and theory tasks, as well as your own very large electrical training bay at our premises. It’s the ideal combination for ensuring you don’t merely receive good-quality teaching, but also learn through doing, culminating in the award of the industry-recognised Domestic Electrical Installer certificate that expires after five years.

We will train and assess you in a broad range of aspects of domestic electrical work when you take on this course – encompassing component exchange, applicable building regulations, electrical safety legislation, pre-work inspections, earthing and bonding requirements, how to identify unsafe electrical situations, and many more.

Only limited places remain, so book yours now!

While our Domestic Electrical Installer training and assessment package is a both thorough and targeted one – with the various assessment methods including multiple choice, short written response and scenario questions and observed practical tasks – it is precisely because of this that it is an in-demand pathway, too.

We only run this course once every few months, and limit student places to four at a time. That means you can certainly expect a lot of close attention when you join us – but it should also compel you to act fast to secure your place.

You can do just that by calling the YTA team today, on 01274 682199. Together, we’ll help to ensure you leave us with the comprehensive knowhow of domestic electrical installations that will empower you to realise your ambitions.

When you’re looking for a course that will enable you to make the next big step in your career in the electrical or a related trade, you’ll naturally wish to have the right facilities at your disposal, as well as the right training. After all, having great people to teach and supervise you only takes you so far, especially when it comes to something where ‘learning through doing’ is paramount.

Such a need helps to explain why our own training centre here at YTA is so popular among those seeking out Domestic Electrical Installer courses.

Not only do we restrict the number of students on each course to five so that you can be sure of receiving the level of attention you need, but we also provide very large electrical training bays, as well as your own tools to work with for the duration of the course.

So, who is a Domestic Electrical Installer course for, anyway?

Domestic Electrical Installer courses are also sometimes referred to by the acronym DEI, and enable those enrolling on them to become a domestic electrical installer or even just become better-versed with the electrics in their own home.

However, it is important to emphasise that such courses are geared towards operatives who undertake electrical work as a secondary task and therefore need to have a comprehensive understanding of how domestic electrical installations work.

This makes the course unsuitable for those who have no qualifications or experience in electrical work or a related trade and are looking to become electricians. If, however, you are a heating installer, bathroom and kitchen fitter or builder, such a course could be a very wise investment. This is especially so as it leads to an industry-recognised qualification for remains valid for five years.

Far-reaching electrical training and assessment

With those nice big training bays to play around in, enrolling on our 10-day DEI course will give you the perfect opportunity to develop your competence in such aspects of domestic electrical installations as component exchange, applicable building regulations, the identification of unsafe electrical situations, electrical test procedures, and much more.

Various assessment methods are used on our Domestic Electrical Installer courses to ensure that the student is worthy of the final DEI certificate, including observed practical tasks and multiple choice, short written response and scenario questions.

Why look any further than the UK’s premier training centre for construction training and assessment when you are considering your options for acquiring your DEI qualification? Courses are available to be booked now, either online or by calling 01274 682199.

Our Domestic Electrical Installer (DEI) course, however, is aimed at operatives such as bathroom and kitchen fitters, heating installers, builders and domestic appliance installers, for whom electrical work is an important secondary task. It is not suitable for those who do not work in related fields or who possess no trade qualifications at all.

If, then, you match the aforementioned description of suitable individuals for our Domestic Electrical Installer training and assessment package, you are sure to be stimulated by the combination of practical and theoretical elements that make up this course. This pathway also culminates in the award of an industry-recognised qualification that remains valid for five years.

It’s been non-stop so the photos are a little late and I know a few of you have been asking for them. Better late than never! I will upload March photos soon.

A very busy February! Courses running were bricklaying, tiling, plastering, kitchen fitting, carpentry & joinery and plumbing!

YTA Training And Assessment Ltd. Bradford, West Yorkshire.

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.

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.
