Becoming an Electrician
Become an Electrician

Traditionally training to become an electrician has only been available to 16-24 year olds through day release college courses and apprenticeships.

Therefore up and until a few years ago the only option available to mature electrical students (over 24years old) was to buy an electrical franchise.

This route is not suitable for the majority of new electricians, and therefore ReactFast have created this Intensive 6 Week Electrical Training Course which enables candidates of varied ages and backgrounds to train in the electrical field.
