Established in 1997, the Electrical Training Trust (ETT) is an independent charity based in Northern Ireland, that aims to improve the productivity, safety and standards of the electrical installation industry.  The electrical installation industry plays a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, including the expansion of EV infrastructure, renewable energy systems, and smart grid technologies. Design, installation, and maintenance of these systems require individuals with specialist qualifications, of which there is currently a significant shortage. These systems also pose significant dangers to the public if installed incorrectly, and with serious risk of incidents due to inexperienced and/or unqualified people working with such technologies.  We dedicate our time and resources to supporting individuals, employers and professionals working within the NI industry to improve their knowledge, enhance their skills and prove their competence.  We do this by providing advice, guidance, accredited training, skills assessments, and management of the SparkSafe Electrical Licence to Practise system.  The organisation operates under ISO 9001 quality assurance accreditation and is an approved City & Guilds, LCL Awards and NET AM2 centre.
