“Conor is testament to what hard work and commitment can achieve, and I was thrilled that he passed his FICA fi rst time. It’s been lovely to hear about the variety of experience that HF Electrical is able to off er and the excellent range of work that Conor had during his apprenticeship. T is is a great example of how successful the Prince’s Trust Get Into Electrical Installation programme has been, and how many of those who take part go on to gain full-time employment.”
Anne Galbraith, CEO of SECTT
– the empty rooms were just like a big FICA booth! I got to carry out the job from start to fi nish, moving switch sockets and adding in lights which I really enjoyed doing. I also like inspection and testing too. In fact, there’s nothing I don’t enjoy on site – every day brings new challenges and I’m always learning. HF carries out a number of hotel refurbishments across Scotland, from the Isle of Skye to Mull and Oban, so before the pandemic the opportunity to travel had been a real bonus.
What would you say to anyone wanting to be an electrician? Once you’ve completed your training, you’ll defi nitely be glad you did it. At fi rst, I was worried about giving up a
full-time job but it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m just glad I saw the advert for the Prince’s Trust course – I’ve never looked back.
Have you any future plans? I just want to get good at what I do and, when I’m ready, sit the Advanced Competence Assessment (ACA). I have no complaints at all – it’s been a great experience.
