4 GCSE passes at a minimum of Grade 3, or a Level 1 BTEC which must include a Grade 3 in English Language and Maths.
Assessment is a mix of practical assignments, written tasks, and online/paper-based exams. You’ll be observed completing tasks such as installing wiring systems, building circuits, and carrying out basic inspection and testing. Written assignments and exams will assess your knowledge of electrical science, health and safety, and installation technology. Together, these assessments test your technical knowledge, practical ability, and readiness to progress into an apprenticeship, Level 3 study, or the workplace.
Studying Level 2 Electrical Installation is the perfect starting point for a career in the electrical industry. This course is not just about wiring—it’s about learning the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that employers are looking for.
