The Electrotechnical in Dwellings Experienced Worker Qualification is for practicing electricians with more than 3 years on site experience as well as relevant technical knowledge to Level 3.
Before you get started, we will invite you to an Introduction session to explain everything involved with the qualification and to undertake a skills-scan so that you can be certain this is the right next step for you before enrolling with us.
The assessments involve an assessor visiting you on-site on several occasions usually over a minimum period of six months (maximum of 18 months) to collect evidence in the form of photographs, video evidence, expert witness testimony and records of professional discussions.
You need to demonstrate a range of work on each occasion to cover all aspects of the Experienced Worker requirements.
Both you and the assessor will need to perform written records of your work and present this in a completed portfolio of evidence, demonstrating your competency in the workplace.
Once you have completed your portfolio, your final hurdle will be undertaking the AM2ED at a Net centre, allowing JIB to recognise you as fully qualified and satisfying the requirements for a JIB gold card.
Is this the right next step for me?
If you have been working in the industry as a practicing electrician for more than 3 years and you possess a Level 2 Diploma qualification in Electrical Installations* and want to continue to work in Dwellings only, then the Electrotechnical in Dwellings Experienced Worker qualification, course code 610/2859/9, is likely to be the one for you. This route does require a complete skills scan and for you to have your 18th Edition Wiring Regulations and Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection and Testing qualifications too. Our Experienced Worker assessor can discuss this with you before you enrol.
Important to note:
Please note: If you have 5+ years’ experience and want to continue to work in Commercial, Industrial and Domestic settings, and you possess a Level 2 Diploma Qualification in Electrical Installation*, then the Electrotechnical Experienced Worker Qualification, course code 603/5982/1 may be the appropriate route to qualification.
Or, if you don’t have the required experience but have qualified with your Level 2 & Level 3 Diplomas, and you are intending to complete the AM2 trade skills test, then the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment, course code 501/1605/8, is the appropriate route.
Please contact our office on 0161 425 7996 or by email to enquiries@eruditetraining.net and one of our team will send you the appropriate information.

The assessment process covers a flexible period between 6 months to 18 months (this is dependent on your ability to identify and work on those jobs which will support your evidence of competence across all areas of the qualification) and costs £1450+VAT = £1740 (Costs may be higher if you have additional units or qualifications to complete – our assessor can discuss this with you at an Introduction session)
We do not collect a deposit before the Introduction session with our assessor. After this a deposit of £400 secures your place and payment plans are available for the remaining cost.
