From your reply, I have managed to decipher that you have only looked online at Training 2000's website, to assume that they don't do electrical installation courses. Please refer to my previous reply to your question:

The advice was put to you on a plate. You cannot find out all the details, or sell yourself as a prospective student/apprentice by clicking on a website.
Ring them up, ask to speak to the person that is in charge of the electrical engineering, and ask to arrange a meeting or interview with them. For the price of a phone call, a bus fare and a couple of hours of your time, you could find it most worthwhile. Even if this proves fruitless, it will give you valuable experience of interviews and talking to potential employers.

As far as I'm aware, Blackburn College no longer teaches engineering apprentices ONC and HNC Electrical & Electronic Engineering. This role has now been taken over by Training 2000, of Harwood St., Blackburn. I know of this because the engineering company that I work for currently has two electrical apprentices being nurtured by Training 2000. One is sitting the HNC course, on a day release basis; the younger one is about to complete his first year of foundation training, which is completed full time for twelve months at Training 2000's headquarters.

What GCSE's are you studying? You will probably need passes in English, Maths and Science to follow the ONC and HNC courses. They may also do City & Guilds Electrical Installation courses, where the qualification requirements are not has high.
