NVQ Electrical training is delivered in small groups at an Options Skills, fully equipped training centre. It will take 30 days on either a full or part-time bases. The NVQ Level 3 course will combine practical training and essential theory and assessments will take place throughout.
You will be required to pass an assessment and demonstrate understanding, skills and competence. This takes place through a series of Knowledge Units, i.e. exams that take place at the training centre and Performance Units that are undertaken in the workplace during Stage 2.
You will be registered with JIB/ECS (Electrotechnical Certification Scheme) as an Electrical Trainee. Receiving a JIB/ECS Card, you’ll be able to seek employment as a trainee and earn while training for your NVQ.
Duration: 1 – 3 years
The second stage of NVQ electrical training is portfolio building.
Your JIB/ECS Card is your passport to work in the Industry whether you seek employment with an employer or agency, allowing you to collect evidence towards your NVQ Performance Units. (Performance units must be completed while in the workplace. This is a combination of practical work, evidence building for your portfolio and direct observation from an NVQ assessor).
Whilst working in the industry and building your portfolio, you will continue working on your knowledge, completing them in your own time and returning to the centre for assessments.
You will have access to an online Virtual Learning Environment, and your tutor and the electrical training team to help you to complete these tasks. Regular ‘drop-in’ sessions, email and Skype support are also available.
The amount of time taken to complete stage two isn’t set by Options Skills but is entirely down to the student.
Duration: 3 days
Following completion of your NVQ electrical training, Optional Skills will refer you to undertake your AM2 (Achievement Measurement Test)
This is an independent assessment of your skills and knowledge which all trainees must undertake before they can gain Installation Electrician status (Gold Card) with JIB/ECS.
The assessment is undertaken by independent AM2 Centre.
Once all three steps of your training and assessment processor complete, you’ll be able to apply to JIB/ECS for your ‘Gold Card’. You’ll be awarded the status of ‘Installation Electrician’.
‘Gold Cards’ are renewable every 3 years.
