Frequently asked questions

How much can I earn as a fully-qualified electrician?
According to the UK government’s National Careers Service, the average salary for an electrician ranges from £22K to £44K.

Because our Premier Electrical Course includes a number of advanced qualifications, you can reasonably expect to find yourself on the higher end of that scale once you’re established in the trade. You could even start your own business and work as a self-employed electrician; this will give you the freedom to set your own hourly rate, work whatever hours you please, and potentially even exceed the top end of that National Careers Service estimate.

Is there a shortage of electricians in the UK?
Yes indeed. The UK has long been dealing with a chronic shortage of skilled tradespeople, and many of those currently in the trade are getting close to retirement age, so the country desperately needs new tradesmen and tradeswomen ASAP.

And electricians are among the most in-demand tradespeople of all. From simple household repairs to large-scale construction projects, there are countless jobs that can only be carried out by a qualified electrician, so if you do choose to join this trade, you’re unlikely to find yourself short of work any time soon.

Is electrician a stable career?
Yes, the average electrician enjoys a very stable career with a reliable source of income. Once you’ve successfully completed our Premier Electrical Course, the qualifications under your belt should make it easy to secure steady employment.

Alternatively, you could set up your own company and go into business as a self-employed electrician. This option of course carries more risk than accepting a position at an established firm, but you will have more flexibility and the potential to make far more money.

Whichever career path you pick, you’ll find that—thanks to the UK’s ongoing trade skills shortage—opportunities for qualified electricians are plentiful.
