Technology and regulations are advancing at such a rate that it is impossible to keep pace with every development. ETS training courses provide an effective way of keeping up to date through intensive and practical training and is helping thousands develop their careers in the electrical safety field.

Even the most competent tradesperson can benefit from our training courses by helping them improve efficiency and performance.

ETS provides training on various aspects of the national wiring rules. These courses are of great benefit to electrical contractors and maintenance staff to enable them to test and verify their installation with confidence, while adhering to ETCI regulations.

We offer in-house courses where hands on demonstrations can be performed on site.
Also, centrally located courses i.e. local hotels, for groups of individual participants.

Places are limited to 12 people per course for Testing &Verification and Portable Appliance Testing.

E.T.S. is the largest independent registered training providers of electrical related courses in Ireland. E.T.S. is an approved registered trainer in course provision and are F.A.S. approved. Our training programs may be grant aided where applicants qualify under the Construction Training Incentive Scheme. In addition, we provide training on various aspects of the national wiring rules. We offer both 'in-house', where hands on demonstrations can be performed on site and centrally located courses i.e. held in local hotels for a small number of contractors.

As an alternative to our centrally located courses our in-house training allows us to tailor the course content more to your practical requirements. If you have six or more people who require training we can save you time, money and hassle. We will travel anywhere to deliver quality training when it suits you minimising your workers time away from the workplace and the associated costs of staff travel and accommodation. Specific elements can be given special attention if you require. We are happy to discuss your needs in order to find the course that suits you best.
