Birmingham Electrical Training (BET) was founded in 1991 as an organisation dedicated to assisting people to gain access to the electrical installation industry.

The company was owned by Birmingham Electrical Contractors Training Group (BECTG), a network of contractors set up to share good practice and train their own electricians to industry standards. The company grew rapidly from 1997 and it became necessary to put it on a stronger footing. To this end, the directors bought the company from the Group in September 2001.

In September 2002, BET moved to a specialist training centre at 34 Brearley Street in Hockley. The Faraday Centre has excellent facilities to deliver both practical and theory “off the job” training and consists of training rooms, workshops, IT suite and facilities for meetings.

Off the job training is provided by a team of 7 tutors. Training in the workplace is provided by employers and is overseen by BET’s team of 7 training officers from who help and support is provided.

With a dedicated tutoring staff providing a quality service, BET aims to exceed the requirements of national standards and enhance our reputation as a training provider of high repute.

As the leading provider of electrical installation training in Birmingham BET has developed strong links with local employers and Colleges of Further Education and is able to provide training for 100 people each year.

BET provides work based learning in electrical installation.
The company also offers commercial training in the installation and commissioning of electrical and electro-technical systems and equipment, information and communication technology, management and Health & Safety.
