Electrical for 16-19 year olds
Study electrical at Brighton MET
Are you interested in being part of the exciting electrical industry? The UK construction industry is a major employer, consisting of small and large companies and many self-employed people. The industry is constantly developing to meet the changing needs of the population.
The Electrical department offers a range of courses which can take you from Level 1 to Level 3. We have modern workshop facilities in our brand new £9 million Construction and Trades Centre, which have been purpose built to recreate real-life working environments.
Depending on what level of training or education you’re currently at, you’ll develop skills and experience in working safely in an engineering environment; forming and assembling cable containment; wiring and testing electrical equipment; maintaining electrical systems and assembling electronic circuits. Usually, our students take the opportunity to progress from our full-time courses onto an apprenticeship in electrical installations, where they can further develop their skills in the workplace.
