Who is it for

The Experienced Worker qualification is for electricians who have been working in the industry, as a practising electrician, for at least 5 years (not including time spent in full or part time training) but have not formally completed an industry apprenticeship or equivalent Level 3 NVQ qualification.  It is suitable for both self-employed and employed electricians who have worked for several years but have never gained full, formal recognition of their skills or experience. You will need to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and competence to the standard of the Level 3 Electrotechnical apprenticeship.

Pre-requisite

It is a requirements for entrants on the 2346 to hold a minimum Level 2 qualification in electrical installation.  The following is a list of accepted qualifications from City & Guilds. If you hold another equivalent qualification not listed above which you think is relevant to the Knowledge required, please contact the ETT team.

What’s involved

There are seven Level 3 Performance Units to be assessed before you can gain the Experienced Worker qualification.  To pass these units, you must provide evidence from a site of your previous work to demonstrate you can fully meet the performance requirements of each unit.  You will be assessed via a range of methods and an assessor will need to observe you at work on at least one occasion during the evidence gathering process. The Wiring Requirements and initial verification aren’t examined within the 2346 – these are proxy units, candidates need to take these qualifications separately if they do not already hold them.  Once the portfolio of evidence is completed, candidates must also complete the AM2E practical assessment.
