If you have been working in the Electrotechnical industry for over 5 years and have not completed an industry apprenticeship or equivalent Level 3 NVQ, then this route is for you. It is suitable for both employed and self-employed persons within the industry. The key benefit of this route is that you existing qualifications, skills and experience can count towards the qualification, and you therefore only need to fill in the gaps.

TO OBTAIN A GOLD CARD AND QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN STATUS, YOU WILL NEED TO:

• Complete the C&G 2346 NVQ Online Portfolio
• Complete an AM2E Assessment. (Not included, see below)
• Have an up-to-date Wiring Regulations qualification.
• Have an Initial Verification Inspection and Testing Qualification such as the C&G 2391-50 or equivalent.

 

NVQ 2346-03 Performance Units

There are six Level 3 Performance Units to be assessed before you can gain the Experienced Worker qualification:

• Apply Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations
• Organise and Oversee the Electrical Work Environment
• Apply Design and Installation Practices and Procedures
• Terminate and Connect Conductors
• Inspect, Test and Commission Electrical Systems
• Apply Fault Diagnosis and Rectification

To pass these units, you must provide evidence from current work to demonstrate you can fully meet the performance requirements of each unit.

You’ll be assessed via a range of methods and an assessor will need to observe you at work on at least one occasion during the evidence gathering process.

DURATION:

With your assessors support we estimate a very realistic timescale is 6-12 months to complete the NVQ. The qualification is site based and does not require attendance in centre, even the induction is carried out via an on-line meeting room. Communication with your assessor will be via email, telephone call and on-line meetings.

Entry Requirements

The 2346 Level 3 NVQ Requires you to have minimum of five years’ experience together with 18th Edition and Initial Verification City & Guilds 2391-50 or Equivalent 

* From September you will also be required to hold a level 2 diploma, such as the City and Guilds 2365. 

You will need to be working onsite as the NVQ is a portfolio of your work. You will usually need to be working on Commercial or Industry sites to cover all the criteria. If you are only on domestic sites, please contact us to discuss. 

COURSE COST: £1,500.00  

 

** AM2E ASSESMENT

The cost of this NVQ does not include the cost of the AM2E assessment which is required as your end point assessment. As a guide centres normally charge around £800 for this assessment. You can book this when you are ready directly with numerous AM2E test centres throughout the UK. Visit this page for more details: AM2E – NET (netservices.org.uk)
