Building on your existing experience in construction and taking the next step towards a new career can feel challenging. We spoke with Arkadiusz, who enrolled on our Platinum Electrical Course Package, to hear how the training, support from our experienced tutors and his assessment success helped him overcome his initial nerves and build the confidence and skills needed to work towards becoming a qualified electrician.
Course Highlights
Logic4training’s City & Guilds 2365-02 Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations forms part of the Platinum Course Package which Arkadiusz enrolled on. He chose this package to build on his existing experience in construction, develop new skills and work towards becoming a qualified electrician.
Arkadiusz spoke highly of his experience at Logic4training, sharing how much he enjoyed every session and praising the trainers for their ability to explain complex topics clearly:
“I did enjoy every single session, every single day. Yeah, the teachers are great. You know, they know how to pass knowledge and yeah, I did enjoy it.”
Initial Nerves Eased by Assessment Performance
Arkadiusz initially worried about the intensive course schedule and balancing his studies with work and everyday life. However, after performing well in every assessment, Arkadiusz was reassured him that he could manage the learning and make progress.
Career Prospects
The City & Guilds 2365 Level 2 Electrical Diploma provides the foundation for a career in the electric industry. After completing the course, you’ll be eligible for entry-level positions such as an Electrician’s Mate, Electrical Labourer or Trainee Electrician, where you can gain valuable on-site experience. Whilst the Level 2 Diploma does not qualify you as an electrician on its own, it opens the door to several entry-level roles and further progression.
As Arkadiusz is doing the Platinum Electrical Package, he will now go on to complete the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma before progressing to the Level 3 Electrical NVQ and AM2 assessment, ultimately achieving ECS Gold Card status as a fully qualified electrician. From there, opportunities exist across domestic, commercial and industrial installation, as well as specialist areas such as renewable technologies and electrical inspection and testing.

FAQs
What Route Should I Take to Become a Fully Qualified Electrician?
If you’re starting with no previous electrical experience, our Platinum Electrical Package, the route Arkadiusz chose, offers the most comprehensive training pathway towards becoming a fully qualified electrician.
You’ll begin by completing the City & Guilds Level 2 Electrical Diploma, the course Arkadiusz discusses in this testimonial, which provides the essential foundation to begin working as a Trainee Electrician or Electrician’s Mate.
To progress towards becoming fully qualified, you’ll also need to complete the Level 3 Electrical Diploma (2365-03), 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and a Level 3 Electrical NVQ, which involves gaining practical on-site experience and building a portfolio of evidence.
Finally, you’ll need to successfully complete the AM2 Assessment to demonstrate your practical competence and become eligible for ECS Gold Card status.
Our electrical training packages provide structured routes to help you develop the skills, knowledge and qualifications needed to progress towards becoming a fully qualified electrician.
At What Centres can I do the course?
Our New Entrant Electrical Packages are available at all four of our training centres: Northolt, Luton, Basildon and Sittingbourne.
However, the Essential Site Skills Course, which is part of our Silver, Gold and Platinum packages, is exclusively available at our Northolt centre.
How Many People Are There per Course?
We like to keep our class sizes small so you have more contact time with your trainer. Therefore, the class will have a maximum of 10 people.
Can I Train to Be an Electrician with No Prior Experience?
Yes, you can become an electrician with no previous experience by enrolling on one of our New Entrant Electrical Training Packages. The Level 2 Electrical Diploma covers fundamental electrical theory and essential practical skills, providing a strong foundation for those starting a career in the industry.
From there, you can progress through the additional courses included in our packages at your own pace, gradually building the knowledge, skills and qualifications needed to work towards your AM2 Assessment and becoming a fully qualified electrician.
