Elec Training Website Update: A Better Online Experience for Learners 

At Elec Training, we’re always looking for ways to make the learner journey clearer, faster, and more convenient. Training as an electrician is a big commitment, so we want your digital experience to be as smooth as your time in the classroom. That’s why we’ve r elaunched our website with a series of improvements — and we’re working on a brand-new customer portal to make managing your courses easier than ever. 

Why the Website Refresh Matters 

The new site went live in August 2020 and was shaped directly by learner feedback. Whether you’re comparing courses, researching qualifications, or preparing to book, it’s now simpler to find the information you need. Some of the highlights include: 

• Clearer navigation across both desktop and mobile. 

• An updated course finder, letting you quickly narrow down options by level, subject, or location. 

• Improved display of the 4 Steps process, so new entrants can see the journey from beginner to Gold Card electrician. 

• Refreshed course content pages, with more detail on what each qualification involves. 

• A smoother booking system (rolling out shortly) that will reduce the number of clicks between browsing and reserving your place. 

These updates mean less time searching and more time focusing on what matters: your training. 

A Sneak Peek at the New Customer Portal 

We’re also developing a dedicated c ustomer portal, which will integrate with a new Learning Management System (LMS). Once live, you’ll be able to: 

• Create an account and book courses directly online. 

• See all your course details in one place, including dates and locations. 

• Make secure payments for upcoming courses. 

• Access eLearning, virtual classes, and course materials in a single hub. 

• Manage your training programme — track your progress and register for additional classes. 

• For companies: easily book multiple delegates at once and oversee staff training from a single dashboard. 

This move reflects how training is changing. With more l earners accessing digital content and blended options, having a centralised system ensures you stay organised and supported from enrolment through to qualification. 

Choosing the Right Course 

One of the most common questions we receive is: Which course is right for me? To help, we’ve updated our course guidance and created a detailed article on how to choose the right electrician course. 

If you’re a beginner, the 4 Steps Programme provides the clearest route to qualification. For those with some experience, individual modules — such as the C&G 2365 Level 2 or Level 3 Diplomas — may be more suitable. And for experienced electricians, shorter upskilling courses like the 18th Edition or inspection & testing qualifications can help you stay competitive. 

With the new site layout, it’s easier than ever to compare routes and identify the best fit for your background, goals, and budget. 

Local Access to Training 

We recognise that travel time and location are important factors when choosing where to train. That’s why Elec Training continues to expand its presence across the West Midlands and further afield. 

For example, learners searching for Electrician Courses Worcester can now access full details of programmes available in that area, including dates and facilities. Each location page provides a snapshot of the courses offered, helping you plan your learning around home and work commitments. 

This local focus is built into our new website design, making it much simpler to match your training needs with nearby centres. 

Salary Expectations and Industry Insights 

Our website doesn’t just provide course details — it also keeps you informed about industry news and pay trends. Electricians consistently top the list of UK trades for average earnings, and our updated insights are available in the 2022 UK Trades Salary Survey. 

The survey shows electricians leading the pack for another year, with wages outpacing many other construction roles. For learners and career changers, this data is invaluable. It shows the potential return on investment when entering the trade and highlights why demand for training remains so strong. 

We’ve also analysed how future changes — such as the Net Zero agenda, EV charging rollout, and green technologies — could push salaries even higher. Keeping up with these updates ensures you make informed decisions about which qualifications to pursue next. 

JIB Rates and Career Planning 

Alongside salary surveys, our new content hub includes updates on official wage agreements. The JIB rates for 2026–28 confirm nearly a 4% rise for electricians. 

For those working toward NVQ Level 3 and AM2 completion, these agreements show the value of becoming fully qualified. Holding an ECS Gold Card means access to JIB pay scales and long-term security within the industry. 

By integrating this kind of industry intelligence into our site, we aim to give learners not only the training they need but also the context to plan their careers strategically. 

Continuous Improvement 

Our commitment doesn’t end with the relaunch. The Elec Training website will continue to evolve, with fresh blogs, updated guidance, and new features added regularly. The customer portal will mark a significant milestone, but beyond that, we’re focused on delivering: 

• Clearer learning pathways for both new entrants and experienced electricians. 

• More integration with digital resources to support blended training. 

• Localised information for each training centre, making it easier to plan your journey. 

• Ongoing updates on regulations, salaries, and JIB agreements. 

This isn’t just about having a modern website — it’s about ensuring every learner has the tools, information, and support needed to succeed. 

The relaunch of the Elec Training website and the upcoming customer portal reflect a simple commitment: making your training journey as straightforward and rewarding as possible. From clearer navigation and better course guidance to online booking and career resources, the changes are designed with learners at the centre.
