Adults could also benefit from electrician training courses

British adults could find that they profit from gaining approved electrical qualifications, following comments from Perspective.

According to the distributed learning and apprentice training firm, the skills shortage in the UK means that many companies are struggling to successfully emerge from the recession as they do not have a well-trained workforce.

However, it suggested that people over the age of 25 should consider entering the learning environment again and discovering new skills.

Paul Davis, managing director of the company - which aims to ensure the success of diplomas, apprenticeships and work based learning - commented that age should be no barrier.

"The recent enrolment of a 73-year-old in Scotland shows that it doesn't matter how young or old an individual is, new skills are almost certainly valued by all," he said.

He added that people who are currently unemployed may want to think about an apprenticeship as a way to get back into work and learn new talents.
