The Experienced Worker qualification is for electricians who have been working in the industry, as a practising electrician, for at least 5 years (not including time spent in full or part time training) but have not formally completed an industry apprenticeship or equivalent Level 3 NVQ qualification.
This course is suitable for both self-employed and employed electricians who have worked for several years but have never gained full, formal recognition of their skills or experience. You will need to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and competence to the standard of the Level 3 Electrotechnical apprenticeship.

You will be assessed via a range of methods and an assessor will need to observe you at work on at least one occasion during the evidence gathering process.

What next?
With a City & Guilds Experienced Worker qualification, you have shown that you meet the Occupational Standards within the Electrotechnical industry. That can be a great launchpad for a range of careers, from inspection to installation.

It can also help you move into a role as an electrical engineer, as well as broadening your prospects with your current employer.

Entry criteria
This qualification is for learners who are experienced workers, with at least five years’ experience working in the electrotechnical industry as a practising electrician. It is not suitable for new entrants into the electrotechnical industry. Learners must hold a relevant Level 2 Technical qualification within Electrotechnical. Learners that cannot demonstrate sufficient industry experience should undertake the 2357 or 5357 (apprentices only) qualifications.

This qualification is approved for learners aged 18 or above, however it is expected due to the five-year industry experience requirements learners will be significantly older.

Course fee is £1850. There may be government funding available for part/all of the course fees - please contact our Admissions Team for more information.
