Electrical training course provider Trade Skills 4U to launch new £1m facility in Leeds

Trade Skills 4U (TS4U), the electrical training course provider, has announced the launch of a new training facility in Leeds.

Established in 2005, the Gatwick-headquartered business specialises in electrical training, delivering courses to over 3,000 students per annum.

With some of the highest pass rates in the UK, TS4U is the first electrical training organisation to be accepted into the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s Centre of Excellence.

The new 16,000 sq ft Leeds premises will be TS4U’s fourth training centre following its success in Gatwick, Central London and Warrington, and will boost headcount from 50 to 55 employees.

TS4U said its aim is to develop individuals with no previous electrical experience by offering the widest range of electrician courses in the UK for new entrants. The firm also facilitates courses for qualified electricians looking to move into new areas of electrical work.

In 2017, TS4U was backed by Palatine Private Equity’s £100m Impact Fund.

Carl Bennett, CEO of Trade Skills 4U, said: “We have conducted thorough research to ensure that this new site is perfectly located and easily accessible for our students in both Yorkshire and the North East.

“From the success of our existing centres, it is clear that there is demand across the UK for our services and we are excited about opening our newest facility in May.

“We recruit only the best and most experienced people to ensure our students receive first class knowledge and advice from professional tutors who have a passion for what they do. The next step is to make our presence known across the rest of the UK and ensure our services are accessible to all aspiring electricians.”

The first courses are now live to book online, starting from the 14th May 2018. TS4U will be holding a launch day on the 9th May at Phoenix House, Hawthorn Park, Leeds, where potential students can register for free taster sessions as well as a tour of the facility.
