electrotechnical

The level 3 electrotechnical apprenticeship is a work-based learning programme that allows you to earn a wage and work whilst studying towards industry recognised qualifications.

This construction apprenticeship for electrotechnical accredited via City and Guilds and EAL is now the only funded qualification in Wales that will earn learners their Gold Card status required to trade as electricians.

It is delivered through a combination of employment and classroom training, which can be carried forward into the world of work.

This programme includes the AM2S end point examination.

This apprenticeship is designed for those with foundation knowledge of electrical.

How does it work?

This apprenticeship consists of on and off-the-job training. On-the-job training involves learning the skills and methods needed to complete your qualifications whilst at work. Off-the-job training will occur alongside this in the form of day release attendance once a week to our training centre in Pyle.

These off-the-job training days are comprised of theory training and assessment, examinations and classroom time with your assessor.

Throughout your apprenticeship, your assessor will regularly visit you at your workplace and onsite to carry out reviews and observe you.
