Adam was successful in the first stage of the competition, scoring one of the highest results in an app-based task against the clock. He has now been invited to the national qualifier, which is a live competition at Burnley College on June 21st. If successful, Adam will reach the UK final later this year.

Once Adam completes his qualifications this summer, he is exploring a number of different options available to him once he finishes his apprenticeship. Adam explained: “I would like to gain my Periodic Electrical Inspection and Testing certificate, qualify in Solar photovoltaics (PV) and continue to work on car charging and then see where I go from there.

“I could maybe look at plumbing which would mean I can work with renewables. There is also the option to set up on my own or go and work for a company like BAE.”
