NVQ Level 3 Electrical Training

Our NVQ Level 3 Electrical Training Course combines three steps of training. For six weeks, students will attend one of our training centres where they will learn essential skills and knowledge. During this time, they will gain their ECS Trainee Card. With this card, in step two, students can go out to work as trainees and build up their portfolio. Once they have completed a sufficient amount of work to a high-standard, they will go onto take their AM2 Assessment. Upon completion of this, students will have earned their NVQ Level 3 and be eligible to gain their ECS Gold Card.

Up to 31st December 2020 Regulated qualifications and UKAS Accredited certificates of competence issued in the UK were widely recognised by other EU member states. However since the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, individual member states that previously recognised a UK qualification may now no longer do so. Learners undertaking qualifications on the basis that it is recognised by an EU member state should in the first instance make enquiries with the relevant bodies in that Country to confirm its recognition status.
