Breakdown of Assessment

This qualification is not a technical certificate which you spend most of your time in a classroom or workshop, but rather a qualification that is completed in a place of work. To be able to complete this qualification you must be able to evidence your electrotechnical competency by completing Electrical installations on site and then have your work assessed by one of our Assessors. The majority of the assessment programme is completed on site (a real place of work and not a training centre), a small amount at the training centre and then the final stage is an assessment known as the AM2 (Achieved Measurement), which will be completed at an AM2 approved centre.

Why do you need the Level 3 NVQ Electrical qualification?

It allows for Electrical Improvers and Experienced Workers to progress in their career as a qualified Electrician and onto the AM2 Assessment. Upon completion of the AM2, Electrical Improvers and Experienced Workers can do the following:

• Obtain the status of “Electrician” with the JIB. If you wish to join them or work for an Electrical Contracting firm that is a member of the JIB.

• Obtain a JIB Gold ECS card.

• Become a Part P registered “Approved Electrician” with one of the Part P scheme providers such as NICEIC, Elecsaor NAPIT

What does the Level 3 NVQ Electrical programme consist of?

There is no duration set for the level 3 NVQ as it will be down to the trainee, depending on how long it will take for he/she to complete a portfolio of evidence and obtain the Electrical work needed to complete the targets set by City and Guilds. The stages include:
