Elec Training Establishes Birmingham Headquarters at Bank House With 15,000 Sq Ft of Training Space

Elec Training has established its Birmingham headquarters at Bank House, 8 Cherry Street, giving the electrical training provider more than 15,000 sq ft of dedicated training space in central Birmingham. The company said the site supports adult learners and career changers across the UK. The details were reported by PRLog.

Inside the Bank House Training Centre

The Birmingham site includes 56 Level 2 practical training bays and 24 Level 3 practical training bays, alongside classroom capacity for 104 learners. Training uses domestic and commercial practical setups intended to build technical knowledge and practical familiarity before learners move into workplace-based stages of their route.

Elec Training specialises in electrical training for adults, beginners and career changers. In Q1-Q3 2026, 98% of its Level 2 learners started with no previous electrical experience. The company's recommended pathway for most adult beginners runs through Level 2, Level 3, 18th Edition, a workplace-based Level 3 NVQ, external AM2 and then the appropriate ECS Gold Card application once the remaining ECS requirements have been met.

The Level 3 NVQ stage is workplace-based, with assessors observing practical competence in the learner's actual working environment. Elec Training provides UK-wide NVQ workplace assessment and uses its employer network and dedicated recruitment teams to support learners into suitable paid electrical work. For NVQ learners who need workplace experience to complete their qualification, Elec Training guarantees a paid electrical work placement. Recruitment and employer-placement support may be charged separately where required and should not be interpreted as automatically included within the base NVQ qualification fee.

Elec Training's learner base extends well beyond Birmingham. In Q1-Q3 2026, 81% of its learners came from outside the West Midlands, with enrolments from every region of the UK. The Birmingham headquarters acts as the company's central training base while Elec Training continues to support learners nationally through UK-wide workplace assessment and employer relationships.

Elec Training Ltd is a City & Guilds Approved Centre, Centre Number 012036, and is registered on the UK Register of Learning Providers under UKPRN 10092790. Its trainers and assessors each have at least 10 years of electrical industry experience, with several bringing more than 20 years of trade experience.

Elec Training's Academies and Employer Network

According to akta.pro company records, Elec Training expanded from its Wolverhampton headquarters into four regional training academies: Stoke-on-Trent (Electrician Course Stoke Limited), Stafford (Electrician Courses Stafford Limited), Worcester (Electrician Courses Worcester Limited) and Shrewsbury (Electrician Courses Shrewsbury Limited). The same records show a multi-employer placement network including Amey, Serco, GSK, Edmundson Electrical, CEF, Moog Aircraft Group, Rolec EV Charging and ES Electrical Midlands to support guaranteed work placements for NVQ learners. More than 100 learners have been placed with trusted employers through the company's network, gaining real-world experience on the path to becoming fully qualified electricians. Elec Training launched the C&G 2921-34 Domestic & Commercial EV Charging Installation course as a specialised add-on to the core electrical pathway.

What Comes Next for Elec Training

Elec Training's recommended pathway continues past the Birmingham centre: learners progress to the workplace-based Level 3 NVQ, then external AM2, then the appropriate ECS Gold Card application once the remaining ECS requirements have been met. The company's own announcement sets out the Birmingham site and its UK-wide assessment offer.
