Electrical courses at YTA including 18th Edition

YTA first started running accredited electrical courses earlier this year, we are now proud to be offering a few more options including the 18th Edition wiring regulations course.

Domestic Electrical Installer Course: This is a 15 day DEI course which is approximately 50/50 hands on practical work mixed with assessments and theory work in the classroom. The course is ideal if you are already working in the construction trade or would like to understand electrics around your home more. The course is aimed at you leaving us being able (and qualified) to do a wide range of electrical work in domestic properties from changing plug sockets front, lights to full re-rewires! Yes you can alter and change wiring in the home following this course BUT you will require a professionally competent and qualified electrician to test, certify and sign off the work you have carried out. Not all work requires a sign off certificate. That would be an experienced electrician (minimum 2 years experience) must hold a minimum, Level 3 Certificate in Installing, Testing and Ensuring Compliance of Electrical Installation Work in Dwellings and the 18th Edition wiring regulations.

Could an NVQ Level 2 carpentry diploma be yours through the EWPA route?

Could an NVQ Level 2 carpentry diploma be yours through the EWPA route?

We may be home to a wide range of carpentry and joinery courses here at YTA – encompassing both five-day and 10-day options – but you don’t necessarily need to undertake any of these to significantly upgrade your qualifications.

That’s because, if you have already been a carpenter for five or more years, you could obtain a Cskills Awards NVQ Level 2 Carpentry Diploma in Wood Occupations (Construction) within the space of a day, when you pursue our fast-track assessment route. You can be up and running with site work in next to no time.

Requiring approximately one day of your time – or possibly two days – at our NOCN Cskills-approved centre in Yorkshire, our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) option will allow you to demonstrate the skills and knowledge needed to achieve an NVQ Level 2. Your skills will be evaluated on the basis of professional discussion, witness testimonies and the practical assessment.

Indeed, there are three mandatory units that constitute this Site Carpentry NVQ Level 2, relating to the essential matters of general workplace safety, efficient work practices and the moving and handling of resources.

Carpentry NVQ level 2 assessment back
Carpentry NVQ level 2 assessment front
Carpentry NVQ level 2 assessment front

In addition to completing these units, you will be able to further support your bid for the NVQ Level 2 qualification by undertaking three optional units. With such subjects as the installation of first fixing components, the installation of second fixing components and the maintenance of non-structural carpentry work featuring in these units, they could be integral to your efforts to pass the EWPA route with YTA.

Complete all of the above to satisfaction, and you will be told at the end of the day that you have achieved the certificate, which will then be sent to you within 14 days, or perhaps even seven days. This, in turn, will enable you to apply for blue skilled worker CSCS card, so that you can get on site.

Enquire now about the joinery courses that best suit your needs as we touched on above, various carpentry and joinery courses are available here at YTA to suit different levels of skills, experience and ambition.

So, why not talk to us now to establish which of these paths represents the step you should take next in your career? Call the YTA team now on 01274 682199, and we’ll be able to clarify any uncertainties that you may have, as well as – if you are ready – take your booking.

5 star reviews for 2 day plastering & 2 day worktop fitting

Two recent 5 star reviews following the completion of the 2 day plastering course and 2 day worktop fitting course.

Tim Falkner – 2 day plastering skimming course

I did the 2 day skimming course. By the first day had skimmed a wall and ceiling. Dave the instructor was very easy to work with teaching me the right techniques to skim. Highly recommend

Anonymous – 2 day worktop fitting course

I have just recently done the 2 day kitchen worktop course and I must say the guy Laurence who was my tutor was excellent he was looking after me and several joiners all at once . But I came with with what I needed and would highly recommend .

Carpentry & Joinery course review at YTA – Philip Porter

”I would definitely recommend” is what Philip Porter had to say following the completion of the 10 day carpentry and joinery course. Please see below the carpentry and joinery course review at YTA.

I attended the 10 day joinery course in October 19. The course was well presented with all the materials and tools available. Lawrence, the teacher was always there for you and as the classes were small he could spend plenty of time with each student. He explained and demonstrated clearly and you could tell he was a master craftsman. There was tea, coffee and biscuits available all day. I feel confident taking my skills out on to site now. I would definitely recommend and I’ll hopefully be doing other courses in time.

Thank you for such a great review Philip of your time at YTA whilst completing the 10 day carpentry and joinery course. Much appreciated.

Thanks again.
From the YTA Team

New Special Offers Now Available

We currently have 2 fantastic offers on that are running from October 2019 to 31st January 2020. We have a ex-student 10% off offer and a 4th week half price offer. Please be aware that if places fill up these offers will end before the 31st January.

For more details please see our TOP OFFER.

4th week half price offer!

Over the winter months of October to February we will be running our very popular 4th week half price offer. The offer is 4 weeks worth of training but the 4th week is charged at half price saving you at least £225. The 4 weeks worth of courses must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course starting. This offer includes undertaking our 5 day courses, 5 day advanced courses (second week courses) and 10 day courses. You do not have to complete the 4 weeks consecutively either, you can spread your weeks out over the 12 week period. Please be aware that places are limited and are on a first come basis.

How the offer works:

  1. Call the centre and discuss course dates and options
  2. Book suitable course dates and pay £400 deposit (£100 deposit per week/date booked) The deposit will be £500 if kitchen fitting is included.
  3. The remaining balances are then due on the first day of each course.

Typical example A: (more examples further down the page)

  1. Pay £400 deposit for 4 weeks of courses
  2. 1st week = 5 day tiling course (pay £350 balance)
  3. 2nd week = 1st 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  4. 3rd week = 2nd 5 days of 10 day plastering course (pay £350 balance)
  5. 4th week = 5 day plumbing course (pay £125 balance)

Total cost = £1575 including vat (£1312.50 excluding vat) A saving of £225!

The offer above is just a typical example but you can choose any 5 day courses to fit the offer. You could even choose 4x 5 day courses in 4 different trades or even 2x 10 day courses and you will still make the same saving.  The 4th week must be completed within 12 weeks from the first course start date, if it is not then you will lose your 4th week deposit. Thats the offer!

If you would like to add on a qualification these are charged at extra costs. So the example above (Example A) could be made into Cskills level 1 certificate in plastering for £300 extra because you are just paying the additional qualification fees.
