Smart Energy Expert Review

As a smart energy expert my role is to install new smart meters and dumb meters into customers properties, Fix faults with existing installs, and provide customers with energy advice to reduce bills and their carbon footprints.

During the apprenticeship we are taught both theory and practical on electric and gas. The theory is intense and learned alot from it. You gain Macopa and acs from the course. You have alot of time to hone the practical skills they teach you like cabling and pipework.

The other people on my course help make the course enjoyable, different people from different walks of life all coming together to enhance they knowledge and skill set.

British gas values all their employees. I'm blessed with fantastic instructors in the academy that treat everyone as equal's and a manager that respects what his team can bring as individuals and as a working collective.

From the outset everything seemed to be planned properly. Well structured lessons help with the learning environment. All equipment in the academy is top notch, where no expence has been spared.

Our training provider is British gas, our instructors have been through the same processes as ourselves but a little before us, so understand the pressures we are under. If a person struggles then things are put in place to bring them up to speed without singling the individuals out. With administration they bend over backward to put things in place so we have a flawless experience in the learning environment.

I dont have any problems with our salary, we have regular pay rises throughout our apprenticeship, starting at 12k and rising to 24k in just over a year.
