Frequently Asked Questions
Being an Electrician is classified as a Level 3 vocation. This level signifies a comprehensive understanding and practical ability in the electrical field.
Completing Levels 1 and 2 serves as a gateway for securing an apprenticeship with an employer at Level 3. Achieving these initial levels makes an application for an apprenticeship more appealing.
There are two primary career routes: the Apprentice Route and the Apprentice & T-Level Route. The Apprentice Route can lead to roles such as Operative (Electrician, Sole Trader, Apprentice) and Skilled Operative (Qualified Tradesperson, Sole Trader, Tester/Inspector). The Apprentice & T-Level Route focuses on Management, with roles like Site Supervisor, Contract Manager, Design & Engineering, and Estimator.
Level 1 is the initial stage, focusing on the basic fundamentals of the industry, electrical science, maths, and essential hand skills. Level 2 builds upon this knowledge, intensifying practical hand skills and introducing the equations and formulae used in the design of electrical installations.
This route involves a structured progression: starting with a Level 1 Diploma in Electrical Installations, followed by a Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations. To advance beyond Level 2, it is essential to be actively working in the electrical industry. Once this prerequisite is met, the next step is the NVQ Level 3 in Electro-Technical Technology, culminating in an Assessment of Competence (AM2).
Beyond the initial operative and management roles, the career path can progress to Senior Management, encompassing positions such as Director and Managing Director CEO.
