If you are seeking adult training for your electrical qualifications you’ll find several options available for your unique situation. You may be in one of the following circumstances: seeking to retrain with an employer, seeking to retrain without an employer, or gaining qualifications as an experienced worker in the electrician field. No matter what your personal situation, there is an adult training option that is likely to meet your needs. Here are the most popular ways to obtain your electrical qualifications.
Electrical Qualifications: Adult Training with an Employer
If you want to retrain with an employer, you need to ensure that
your employer does at least two of the following types of work: industrial, commercial and domestic. This is necessary to ensure your training will follow established training routes and JIB registration.
In order to gain the JIB register of electricians, you’ll need to meet the following electrician qualifications:
• City and Guilds 2330 Certificate in Electrotechnology: This certificate is split into two main parts: 2330 Level 2, and 2330 Level 3. Each level consists of a series of multiple choice exams and practical assessments. 2330 Level 3 is the basis of the knowledge that you need for the NVQ.
• NVQ 2356 Level 3: The NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is required to assess competence in the workplace. It is offered by City and Guilds and EAL; you can complete it at a local college or training provider. The NVQ requires you to cover site safety, diagnosis and correction of electrical faults, provide technical and functional information, preparation and installation of wiring systems, wiring enclosures and equipment, safe connection of wiring systems and the inspection, testing and commission of an electrical installation.
