If you are going to be 24 or older at the start of this course, you could be be entitled to an Advaned Learning Loan which will cover your tuition fees. Please click here for more information.

The current QCF requires you to cover the following units:

• Ensure safe site working

• Maintain a safe and healthy working environment
• Prepare to install wiring systems, wiring enclosures and equipment
• Install wiring systems, wiring enclosures and equipment
• Connect wiring systems and equipment using safe and approved methods
• Inspect, test and commission an electrical installation

It is a legal requirement that employers in the industry have qualified electricians working for them. Failure to do so will increase the health and safety risks and have a negative impact on reputation.

This course is no concessions, and requires a telephone interview.

What do I need to get on this course?

Participants need or working towards the 17th Edition wiring regulations and have passed City & Guilds 236 part two together with or working towards City & Guilds 2330 Level 3 or equivalent qualification, and currently working within the industry.

Proof of qualifications will be required to be produced at an interview with the course tutor prior to enrolment. To complete the QCF, a practical performance assessment such as the AM2 or equivalent must also have been completed. There may be exemptions to this if you are a practicing operative.

How will I be assessed?

QCF’s were introduced by the Government to assess occupational competence in the workplace. The QCF is completed while you are at work, via a log book and supported by evidence. Evidence is often in the form of photos, risk assessments, job sheets, test result sheets and any other relevant documents. The Logbook is then assessed by a qualified assessor from the college. A number of assessment visits will also take place during your training.

Where does it lead?

The topics covered will support entry to higher level programmes such as Electrical Engineering and Electronic Engineering.
