Are you good with practical work? Do you have an eye for detail? Maybe you’re interested in a hands-on job in construction. If so, this course could be for you.

Electricians install and maintain the equipment needed for the safe and efficient use of electricity, including fitting and repairing electrical circuits and wiring. It’s a highly enjoyable job that demands attention to detail and sound knowledge of the tools and techniques needed to safely install electrical systems.

This Level Two Diploma gives exemption from some units of the EAL/City & Guilds Level Three NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Services and effectively reduces the time required to complete the Advanced Apprenticeship Programme by one year. This qualification will also give you entry onto the full-time Level 3 Advanced Electrical Installations.

During this course you’ll learn:

  • Health and Safety in Building Services Engineering

  • Principles of Electrical Science

  • Electrical Installations Technology

  • Installation of Wiring Systems and Enclosures

  • How to communicate with others within Building Services Engineering
