A Guide To City & Guilds Electrical Courses

If you want to train to become an electrician, you will need to complete a sequence of City & Guilds qualifications but with so many available it can be difficult to know where to start.

The article shows a list of City & Guilds electrical qualifications that are currently available to trainees with each qualification having a brief description about what that specific course will involve.

City & Guilds 2330 level 2

Anyone looking to start their electrical training from the beginning in order to qualify to undertake tasks within domestic, industrial and commercial premises should recognise that this qualification is the entry requirement to the industry.

City & Guilds 2330 level 3

Once you have completed and passed the level 2 course, the natural sequence of progression, if you looking to move forward to achieve an NVQ, is to take this level 3 qualification.

City & Guilds 2357 level 3

This qualification is more advanced than the previous two and has been introduced to eventually replace both of them but is currently available as an alternative as the industry gradually phases out the 2330 courses.

City & Guilds 2382 - 10

City & Guilds 2382 - 20

This one day course is aimed at electricians who hold a relevant qualification at 16th Edition but need to update to the BS 7671 (2008) 17th Regulations Edition.

This qualification has been developed to provide less experienced trainees with an introduction of how to inspect and test electrical installations before progressing onto the 2391-10 Level 3 Certificate in Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations.

City & Guilds 2391

This is a four day course which is aimed at practicing electricians who need to demonstrate their ability to perform inspection and testing by passing assessment on purpose-built training rigs.

City & Guilds 2393

This one day regulations course is for qualified electricians who require a qualification that demonstrates their knowledge of electrical installations and enables them to register onto a Part P scheme.
