We offer services for companies, groups and individuals

This qualification allows the learner to acquire knowledge and craft skills of electrical installation. It does require occupational evidence from the workplace and so is suitable for learners who currently work within the electrical Industry.

What is an NVQ?

An NVQ is a process that assesses your skills in the workplace. So to do an NVQ you must be working within the electrical industry. When you have completed a portfolio of work there is one last assessment known as an AM2 which is the final practical element to show your understanding. You will need both the Level 2 and Level 3 Diploma, the NVQ and the Final AM2 to gain gold card status.

Most people take 2-3 years to complete an NVQ however it can be completed much quicker if you have wide variety in your day to day work or if you have been working for some time and already have the supporting evidence required from previous jobs.
