Why Become A Qualified Electrician

When you learn a trade, you learn a skill for life.

The trades industry is booming thanks to a rising population and an increase in the housing market. Because of this, there has never been a better time to learn a trade. With a shortage of skilled tradespeople comes a high demand and therefore, higher wages.

There are a number of reasons to become an electrician, with a high earning potential being just one of them.

When you become an electrician, you have a number of career options available to you. Electricians can work for an existing company, working set hours and receiving a monthly wage. Alternatively, there is the chance to become your own boss. This means choosing your own w orking hours, the jobs you take on and setting your own rate of pay. The average salary of an electrician in the UK is £35,000, but this is can be even higher depending on your location and experience level.
