Summary:

Student life

As a student at City College Norwich, you will receive an experience of further education that is both intellectual stimulating and personally supportive. We are of a size to sustain a unique identity and a very personal atmosphere.

Studying a full-time course at City College Norwich is very different from school. Depending on your experience, your course, you may not be required to attend all day, every day. This does not mean that you will have less work than when you were at school but means that you will have more control over when you do it.

City College Norwich can help you with updating your skills in this ever changing sector, or guide you onto a path leading to a new career.

The full time level 2 electrical qualification is intended for those who want to gain the knowledge and abilities that will enable them to progress onto the Level 3 2365 or to enhance their chances of employment as an electrical improver or gain an apprenticeship and eventually become an electrician.

What it’s like working in the Electrical Installation Sector?

There are around 23,000 businesses in the industry employing around 169,000 people. As an area with a skills shortage there is an opportunity for those who wish to develop their knowledge further.

This sector will play a vital role in supporting the government’s Low Carbon and Green Agenda through the training of electricians to install and maintain solar photovoltaic systems for domestic and commercial premises to enable electricity to be generated using solar energy.
