Completing this NVQ, including the AM2 assessment will allow you to be recognised in the electrical industry as a qualified electrician and will open the door to registering with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or Napit and will enable you to meet the pre-requisites for many CPD qualifications, such as Solar PV, Electrical Energy Storage and EV Charging.

The length of time that the NVQ takes will depend on how quickly you can cover the different types of work required to complete all the units. As a rough guide, we find most people will complete it in 6-18 Months.
If you have been working in industry for some time existing jobs can be used as evidence to speed the process up.
If you have a large variety of work you can complete it quicker, if you are doing the same thing day in and day out then you will find it harder to provide the full range of evidence required.
Once you have completed our initial assessment to ensure you meet the criteria for this qualification you will be assigned an assessor who will support you through the NVQ process right up to your final assessments.

He came back to our Coventry centre to give a seminar to Step 2 & 3 students about his time with us and his experience within the electrical industry. Also, we hear from Step 2 student Richard and our tutor Brendan on what they found out during the seminar.
