I'm starting my C&G 2365 level 2 & 3 at Trade skills 4 U in a couple of weeks. I've been hammering through the prep as the course is 10 weeks on level 2 and 6 weeks on level 3 (full time).
I will complete this course in October and...
- I will still need to build up a portfolio of work over 18 months or more to submit for the NVQ qualification (NVQ Assessor cost?).
- I will also need to get the testing qualifications (C&G 2394 & 2395 - £1300?), and
- I will then need to complete the AM2 to become a qualified electrician (£595 + poss recap course).
This process will take me a good couple of years and that is if I get a job straight after I complete the 2365.
This will cost me well over
£8k to do. There are cheaper courses out there, but you will still have to complete the above to become an electrician.
If you don't have the time or money to do the fast track course... You can do all these qualifications with most local colleges on an evening study basis. I can guarantee you'll get a better education than some questionable company that promises the ECS Card before you've even got halfway!
