FAQs
How many days do I need to attend the training centre?
You will need to attend the centre for 8 days (over 2 consecutive weeks) to complete the required practical training and assessments for this course.
What are my next steps after the Level 3 electrician course?
After successful completion, your next step would be to enrol on the Level 3 NVQ 2357 in Electrical Installations.
I have completed the C&G Level 2 2365 at another training centre, can I enrol onto this course?
Absolutely! You will be required to send us a copy of your C&G Level 2 2365 certificate upon enrolment.
Can I work as an electrician with the Level 3 Diploma?
Although it will give you fundamental knowledge to kick-start your electrical career, the diploma itself does not qualify you to work as an electrician. After completing the course, you can work as an electrician’s mate, or continue your electrical training with the C&G 2357 NVQ Level 3 course, including your AM2 assessment. This will enable you to be recognised as a qualified electrician and eligible to apply for an ECS Gold Card.

A member of their team will manage and invigilate your exam remotely through their online exam platform. For more information on this service, please read the remote invigilation candidate guide, or watch the demonstration video.
