Electrical Safety First is proud to champion the launch of ACE:Electrical (the Apprentice Channel of Excellence), a groundbreaking new platform offering free, high-quality teaching and learning resources for all UK electrical apprentices. This innovative channel, hosted on Learning Lounge, aims to empower the next generation of electricians with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their careers.
Accessible Excellence for Apprentices
From January 10th, UK electrical apprentices enrolled with approved training providers will have access to an ever-expanding library of modular, bite-sized content at no cost. Designed to complement hands-on learning, ACE:Electrical delivers expert-led modules covering key industry topics, from electrical protection systems to health and safety legislation. New content will be added weekly, ensuring apprentices always have fresh resources to enhance their understanding and technical skills.
Industry Icons and Rising Stars
ACE:Electrical is brought to life by a team of exceptional presenters, including Dave Austin, a revered figure in the electrical industry. Joining him are two rising stars: Veronica Jennings, who won Electrical Apprentice of the Year in 2022, and James Whelehan, a qualified electrician and QS. Together, they offer an engaging mix of experience and relatability, making the content both inspiring and accessible.
Tutor Support and Licensing Options
ACE:Electrical isn’t just for apprentices. Electrical tutors at approved training centres can access a suite of tools to elevate their teaching. With a centre licence, tutors can monitor student progress, direct learners to specific modules, and seamlessly integrate ACE content into classroom lessons. This dual approach ensures that both apprentices and educators benefit from the platform’s extensive resources.
Building Outstanding Electricians
The mission of ACE:Electrical is clear: to help create a new generation of outstanding electricians. By offering free, expert-led resources to apprentices and invaluable teaching tools to tutors, the platform bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
What’s Coming throughout January and February
The initial content roll-out for ACE:Electrical includes:
- 10th January: 4 modules on Protection Against Overcurrent Using Fuses
- 17th January: 3 modules on Protection Against Overcurrent Using Circuit Breakers
- 24th January: 3 modules on RCDs
