Electrical Qualifications: Adult Training Without an Employer
Seeking out a JIB registered employer would be beneficial; you may have luck finding one simply by work of mouth, the phone book, and/or Internet job sites. If employers know that you’re currently studying to gain electrical qualifications, they may offer electrician’s mates rates or adult trainee rates. You can gain your electrical qualifications on evening or day release, giving you the flexibility that you need as an adult student.
It’s recommended that you gain the City and Guilds 2330 Level 2 and Level 3 electrical qualifications. Though these qualifications alone won’t guarantee you a job as an electrician, they’ll save you valuable time if you’re able to gain an employer later on. Simply having these electrician qualifications is sometimes enough to convince an employer that you’re worth hiring on a trial basis so that you may complete your NVQ.
Electrical Qualifications: Adult Training as an Experienced Worker
If you’re an experienced electrical worker but don’t have your electrical qualifications, you should still determine whether your employer does at least two of the following types of work: industrial, commercial and/or residential. This is necessary to complete an established training route and gain JIB registration.
Joining the JIB register of qualified electricians is strongly recommended for electrical workers. It will allow you to be graded, and gaining further experience and electrical qualifications will enable you to achieve Approved Electrician status.
If your employer meets the JIB requirements, you’ll need to source a local college or training program that offers the following qualifications: City and Guilds 2330 Certification Levels 2 and 3, NVQ 2356 Level 3 and possibly, depending on your progress in the NVQ, the AM2.
