More than 1,500 customers have already registered for the 17th edition e-learning course with NICEIC. Training in the 17th edition regulations could involve electricians spending up to four days in a classroom. Thanks to NICEIC’s partnership with Virtual College, contractors can now do the majority of training online – reducing the time spent away from work.
The courses can be taken over a number of nights, weeks or months to suit the demands on the electrician’s time. The learning is structured into short assessments with revision tests available online so the learner is fully prepared for the final assessment in the classroom. The pass rate stands at a staggering over 95% reflecting the quality and the success of the learning tools.
Asad continued: “Our partnership with Virtual College is just one example of the work we are doing to make training easier and accessible for all contractors.”
