FAQs

How is this course different to an NVQ?

The Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification (601/7345/2) is a competency-based qualification, exactly like an NVQ. You're assessed on evidence from your own work on site, not just on exams or theory, and you build a portfolio with an assessor. An "NVQ" is a label from older qualification. Apprentices have been taking this qualification for several years. It unlocks the same progression route as an NVQ, you can get your ECS Gold Card, competent person scheme membership, and progress into EV charging, solar PV and battery storage.

How long does it take to get the Electrical Level 3 qualification?
