There has never been a better time to retrain as an electrician with PTT and discover the best path to your career, lifestyle, and family goals. However, choosing the right course isn’t always straightforward if you don’t already have the industry knowledge to know what qualifications you need. With several qualifications available, how do you know which one aligns with your experience and career ambitions?

A skills scan is a powerful tool designed to give you clarity and confidence as you retrain as an electrician, ensuring the path you choose is the right one for you. At PTT, we are here to support you in making an informed decision that sets you up for success. Here is what the skills scan does:

1. Identifies Your Knowledge Gaps

Every electrician’s journey is unique. You may have years of practical experience in the trade but need to formalise your knowledge in specific areas, you might be a qualified electrician looking to upskill in a new specialism (e.g. renewable energies), or you may be entering the electrotechnical trade for the first time from a completely different job. A skills scan helps you pinpoint exactly where your strengths lie and what knowledge gaps need filling. It acts as a diagnostic tool, providing a clear picture of your current competence.

This process is a partnership. We work with you to analyse the results and understand what they mean for your development. By identifying these gaps beforehand, you can enrol in a course that directly addresses your needs, making your learning experience far more effective and rewarding.

2. Aligns Your Choice Of Training With Your Career Goals

Your career ambitions are at the heart of your training journey. For instance, are you aiming for a JIB Gold Card, looking to diversify into inspection and testing, or perhaps move into a self-employed role? A skills scan helps connect your training choices and desired skills to your future goals, so that the course you choose is not just another qualification, but a strategic step towards the career you want.

We believe in creating a tailored plan for your success. The skills scan provides the data we need to recommend the most suitable pathway for you, right now. This collaborative approach empowers you to invest in training that delivers a real return, moving you closer to your professional aspirations.

3. Helps You Plan Your Time And Resources More Effectively

Investing in training is a significant commitment of both time and money, so it’s important that you plan your resources efficiently. Enrolling in a course that is too basic or not appropriate to your goals could leave you disengaged, while one that is too advanced or demanding can be overwhelming and discouraging. A skills scan helps you find the perfect balance, placing you in a learning environment where you will be challenged but not out of your depth.
