How this apprenticeship route works
Most London roles still follow the Level 3 electrician apprenticeship route, with college or training-provider days alongside employer-led practical work.
Competition for London roles is strong. The legal floor is £8.00 an hour in year one (April 2026 rate), but employers with commercial sites, maintenance contracts or heavy travel often pay above it. Ask what the rate rises to after year one. Anyone 21 or over must then get at least £12.71.
Pay varies by age, apprenticeship year, employer and nation. Use these figures as a planning guide, then check the current vacancy and official guidance before relying on a rate.
The routine that works: search official vacancies weekly. Keep a focused CV ready and apply within days. Good vacancies close fast.
