- Access to a real work setting to demonstrate practical competence.
This course is ideal for:
- Individuals aspiring to become competent electricians.
- Those pursuing a career in the electrotechnical or building services sector.
- Mature candidates with prior experience or qualifications in electrical installation.
Pre Requisites
There are no formal pre requisite requirements for this qualification, however due to the assessment
requirements of the performance units, learners would typically be working within the electrical
industry. Learners must have the maturity and potential ability to meet the requirements of the
assessment criteria for each learning outcome of the qualification units. Learners must have the

How will this course be assessed?
Assessment
- Knowledge Units: Assessed through on-screen exams and internal practical assignments.
- Performance Units: Assessed locally and require occupational evidence.
- On-Site Assessments: One of our electrical assessor will visit you on site to
- *Electrotechnical Occupational Competence Unit: Assessed by the AM2 at an NET Centre.
*The AM2 Assessment is not included in this course and must be carried out separately at an approved NET Centre.
The knowledge units have on-screen exams and internal (Centre marked) practical assignments. The
performance units are locally assessed and require occupational evidence. The Diploma also requires
the completion of Electrotechnical Occupational Competence Unit (AM2 end point assessment).
