C&G 2365 Level 2 & 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations
If you are looking to become an electrician and have no opportunity to start an apprenticeship, the City & Guilds 2365 Level 3 Electrical Installation qualification is now a recognised route. The course is open for candidates from 16 and above and is ideal for adult learners without any experience in the electrical industry.
The C&G 2365 Level 3 QCF qualification is a replacement for the old C&G 2330 Level 3. The course covers everything from the ground up and is designed for all candidates wanting a viable entry route into the electrical industry, regardless of their age or background, little or no electrical experience.
If you want to become a fully-qualified electrician working on industrial, commercial and domestic installations, achieving this qualification is an effective first step. It allows you to study all aspects of the electro-technical industry without having a job in the trade. If at a later date you find a job then the NVQ component can be added by completing the performance units of the NVQ on site, as well as completing the AM2 assessment, which will enable you to become fully qualified as an electrician.
This makes the C&G 2365 qualification an ideal course for adult learners without industrial experience
C&G 2365 course contents
This qualification is usually offered as a 16-20 week full-time course.
The course is mainly focused on practical work, but there is also a classroom study element which covers electrical theory from the science basics to electrics and installation work.
Practical training involves training on commercial and domestic installation, single and 3 phase systems, armoured cable, pipe bending techniques, steel conduit and installation trunking, etc.
The C&G 2365 qualification can be achieved on both Level 2 and Level 3.
