How do you become an electrician in the UK? For most adult beginners, Elec Training’s recommended pathway is Level 2, then Level 3, followed by the 18th Edition, the Level 3 NVQ, the external AM2 assessment, and finally the appropriate ECS Gold Card.

Adults can become electricians in the UK without completing an apprenticeship, and complete beginners can start through a Level 2 electrical training route.

In this episode of the Elec Training Podcast, we explain the adult electrician training pathway, including:

• Level 2 Electrical Installation • Level 3 Electrical Installation • 18th Edition Wiring Regulations • gaining real electrical work experience • completing the Level 3 NVQ • the external AM2 assessment • progressing towards the appropriate ECS Gold Card

Elec Training provides UK-wide workplace-based NVQ assessment and guarantees a paid electrical work placement for NVQ learners who need the workplace experience required to complete their qualification. The guarantee covers suitable paid electrical work.
