Who this course is for

What you could study next

Level 2 Electrical Installation is a step toward the qualifications and experience needed to work as a fully qualified electrician. You could progress to a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment, which is the qualification required for a JIB Gold Card and recognised skilled-worker status.
