Welcome to Electrical Qualifications
Hello and welcome to Electrical Qualifications. This site has been set up to help you demistify the somewhat confusing route to practising as an electrician. It is a useful resource for young people looking for entry into the electrical industry and adults looking for electrical training to retrain or gain qualifications in order to further a career in the electrical industry. The site is not just for potential electricians and the City and Guilds 2330 crowd, information is also available if you are a current practising electrician or an allied trade such as a plumber, gas fitter, contractor or kitchen fitter through the domestic installers qualifications and competent person scheme.

Replacement for C&G2330 announced called the C&G2365 
Thursday 15th March 2012
Work on a replacement qualification for the outgoing 2330 was announced in the shape of the C&G2365.
It is thought that the qualification will be offered at level 2 and level 3 and will consist of some technical units from the apprentice scheme (2357). Once completed, the qualification can then be mapped across to the 2357 to allow the completion of the performance units and ECS registration.
The qualification is hoped to be released for September 2012 and should attract funding for 16-18 and also possibly 19+ students making this a viable option for the adult retraining route that has been lost with the 2357.

2330 gets new extension until Jan 2013
Tuesday 15th November 2011
In what is yet another twist of fate, the thrice ill-fated C&G2330 makes another comeback, this time with funding attached for 16-18 year olds.
The extension is reportedly due to the following reasons:
- Feedback from centres, trade associations and employers
- Provide some stability for our centres
- Changes in the current regulatory requirements notably the decision by OFQUAL to continue the National Qualifications Framework (NQF)
- Availability of building services qualifications approved outside the Summit Skills footprint
- The current economic climate making it difficult for learners on the new QCF qualifications to gain evidence towards performance units
Apprentices should still take the C&G2357 scheme. C&G hope to have a full suite of qualifications available for September 2012.
