For me you need to include a voltage tester as well essential tool to get to know before they ever dream of messing around with anything involving electricity, i'd consider adding safety glasses and boots as well, saw someone step on a nail once in a build, wasn't pretty since then i always wear boots, rubber soles with some kind of protection from penetration from nails or any other nonsense hanging about on a site, probably kneepads and gloves would also be nice seeing as you're gonna be crawling around places a lot lol

Do you need to buy your tools on your own? Here in Germany a apprentice gets all the good tools at the start of his 3.5 apprentice years from his company and when something breaks the company he is working for gets him a new one. I would be very interested how this is managed in other countries.
