Electrical Installation: Level 3 Apprenticeship

Course Summary

Apprenticeships are a popular choice for people aged 16 or above, looking for on the job training and the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst earning a wage. Most of your training will be directly linked to the career you have chosen, gaining practical experience in the workplace, backed up by attendance at college just one day a week.

The Apprenticeship in Electrical Installation has been chosen as a 'Gold Standard' green apprenticeship to mark the Coronation year. 

You will need to have achieved GCSEs at grade 9 - 4 (or comparable qualification) in English and maths. Please note, you will also be required to undertake an initial assessment prior to enrolment in order to assess your current level of English and maths. Your interviewer will discuss with you what minimum level you will need to achieve at initial assessment.

You must be employed with a suitable employer and have all relevant contractual documentation in place prior to college enrolment. Employers will also set their own interview in addition to the college criteria.

Whilst your technical skills and knowledge will develop over the course of your Apprenticeship you will also need to demonstrate to potential employers that you possess the relevant skills and personal qualities and are willing to work and learn.

To begin this course you must be eligible to work within England or the European Economic Area (EEC) and be employed for a minimum of 30 hours in a relevant job role and be able to attend college on a part-time basis. Your employer must commit to supporting you throughout your apprenticeship and provide on-the-job learning as well as your college based off-the-job learning.

If you do not have an employer to support your apprenticeship the college will support you to find an employer through our dedicated employer support team.

Please note that all apprenticeships are subject to availability of space.

Fully qualified Electrical Installer. Qualify for full CSCS and AGS card and ability to work on domestic and commercial sites in England. Possible progression on to managerial/supervisory roles and other apprenticeships.

A 5% employer contribution fee may be applicable depending on the age of the apprentice and the size of your organisation.

This qualification is designed for learners wishing to gain an apprenticeship within the Electrotechnical industry. Learners will gain the skills and knowledge to carry out job roles and responsibilities associated with the electrical installation industry. On successful completion learners will have achieved the industry desired level of competence required to carry out the specific roles. Throughout your study you will cover a number of specialist subject areas including:

  • Health and safety legislation
  • Environmental legislation
  • Practices, procedures and design
  • Scientific principles
  • Inspection and testing
  • Fault finding and diagnosis
  • Design and installation
  • Planning and overseeing electrical work
  • Terminating and connecting
  • Wiring regulations BS7671


Over the duration of your apprenticeship you will build a portfolio for your work-based units and work with your assessor for on-site assessment.
