Electrical
Over the next 10 years more than half of activity within the electrical engineering sector will be focused on repair, maintenance and improvement. The value of electrical contracting will increase due to demands for more energy efficient buildings as a result of the increasing energy prices and possible shortages. There will be more and more opportunities for the electrical contractor who adapts to these changes.

Testimonials
"When I first started the course and saw all the brand-new equipment, I knew I was where I wanted to be to start my career in Engineering. My favourite part of the course is working on the CNC Millers and Lathes in the workshops, working on these machines will give me the skills needed for when I enter the world of work. I hope more people aspire to become engineers in the future and enjoy the course as much as I do"
