Britain’s number 1 training centre choice for professional electricians Trade Skills 4 U have recently carried out a survey amongst UK electricians to find out what type of work they prefer to do.
Electricians were asked the question “what type of work to you prefer doing?” electricians were then able to choose between domestic and commercial work as their preference. The question raised in the survey although quite light hearted revealed there is a vast difference between domestic and commercial training.
What area is best to train in?
Domestic electrical training is seen as the quick route with training available from Trade Skills 4 U to become a domestic installer in 18 days at a cost of £2145 in contrast, should you wish to specialise in commercial electrical work, the City & Guilds 2365 a 16 week course will set you back £6990. However, with growing numbers of electricians offering both domestic and commercial services, it makes sense to get qualified in both areas, leaving electricians with the option to take both types of electrical work even though they may prefer one type over the other. With a shorter course length and pocket friendly price, the EAL7695 enables students to get qualified and start earning.
Once an electrician is fully qualified, they become a 'full scope' electrician and can if they wish can offer commercial services in addition to domestic or simply choose to concentrate in one area of preference.
Commercial came out on top!
The winner in the survey incidentally was commercial. To find out what the guys on the tools said, read the full article here: http://www.tradeskills4u.co.uk/posts/domestic-vs-commercial

As professional electricians we all eventually decide on which area of work we most prefer. Some of us prefer working in peoples homes as a domestic electrician, others prefer the atmosphere of working as a commercial electrician. Which ever sector we wish to work in as a professional electrician, we all follow the same guidelines, BS7671!
Recently Trade Skills 4 U have wrote an article on this exact subject explaining the difference between commercial and domestic electricians from a training and lifestyle point of view.
Domestic vs Commercial? Which Way should I go?
Training to become a domestic electrician is currently the most popular option. If you prefer face to face interaction with your customers with quicker and low cost training options then becoming a domestic installer may well be a good option for you.
If indeed you prefer to work in a team in a more structured environment then commercial might be the better option. Which ever you decide, or do, being an electrician is an exciting and very rewarding career choice.
This article is a great starting point for people who are interested in training to become an electrician but not sure of the difference between a domestic or commercial electrician.
