First Year Apprentice

“To other people wanting to get involved, I say just do it, I highly recommend, and it’s a great job to do.”

Interested in an electrical trade?

Many of our apprentices begin by undertaking a Certificate II in Electrotechnology.

This practical course provides a strong foundation in electrical theory, safety, and basic skills. It’s the perfect first step towards an apprenticeship with Nilsen and a future in the electrical industry.

Our preferred training provider, NECA Education & Careers, offers outstanding support to help you succeed. Once employed, our apprentices receive on-site training alongside experienced tradespeople, with further education delivered through weekly classes.

We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
