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.

Many learners 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
At what centres can I do this course?
Our City & Guilds Level 2 Electrical Diploma is held at all of our centres – Northolt, Luton, Basildon and Sittingbourne.
What are the Entry Requirements?
As the Level 2 Diploma is designed as a beginner pathway, you do not need to have any prior electrical experience or experience in any other trade. However, it is recommended that you have at least a basic level of Maths and English. You must also be aged 18 or over to do the course.
Can I work as an Electrician after course completion?
Whilst you can work as a Trainee or Electrician’s Mate after completing the Level 2 Diploma, you must also complete the Level 3 Electrical Diploma (2365-03), the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), and eventually a Level 3 Electrical NVQ with the AM2 assessment to become a fully qualified electrician and achieve ECS Gold Card status. The Level 2 Diploma however is an essential foundation.
What’s the difference between a Domestic Installer and Qualified Electrician?
A Domestic Installer is trained to carry out electrical work in residential properties, such as installing sockets, lighting, consumer units and other household electrical systems. It’s a quicker route into the industry but is generally limited to domestic work.
A Qualified Electrician has completed the full industry-recognised qualification pathway, including the Level 3 NVQ and AM2 assessment. This allows them to work across domestic, commercial and industrial environments and demonstrates full occupational competence.
Do I need to bring my own tools?
All tools will be provided in-centre, but you will need to bring your own pair of hard steel-toe capped boots.
