The qualifications for electrical apprenticeships are:
• NVQ Level 3 Installing and Commissioning Electrotechnical Systems
• City & Guilds 2351 Level 3 Technical Certificate
• Key Skills at Level 2

Electrical Apprenticeships: Training
Programs that offer electrical apprenticeships typically take about 4 years to complete from start to finish. The different stages of apprenticeship training vary depending on whether you apprentice through a college, directly under an electric company or in the private sector. They commonly include a first stage in which you attend college and gain your electrical qualifications while also assisting trained electrical staff on-site.
In the second stage, you learn advanced theories at college about 20% of the time while getting on-the-job training the remaining 80%. In the third stage, you’ll begin to carry out your on-site tasks with less direct supervision, working independently. In the final stage, you’ll show your abilities to plan and execute a range of tasks completely on your own. Once you achieve the NVQ level 3 and pass trade tests your electrical apprenticeship will be complete.
Gaining the electrical qualifications you need for a great career in this industry will take dedication and determination. The electrical internships available are a great way to get the needed support that will help you achieve your goal.
