City & Guilds 2330 Level 2

Next start date:
08th August 2011 is now full and the next available start date is 24th October 2011 for 8 Consecutive Weeks

You may have heard about changes being proposed for City & Guilds training and also wondering how this might affect construction trade qualifications, especially if you are thinking of beginning your training with Able Skills on the City & Guilds 2330 - Technical Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology.

The new qualifications will replace the current ‘technical certificates' and NVQs at levels 2 and 3 for the Electrical industry but not until July 2012 which means that the current route of the C&G 2330 technical certificates remain valid qualifications and an acceptable route into the electrical industry.

So therefore, 2011 sees the introduction of 2 routes into the Electrical industry. The newly accredited C&G 2357 NVQ Diploma and separately, the already established C&G 2330 at both levels 2 and 3.

C&G 2330 Level 2

This qualification is a tried and tested route into the Electrical industry and has been retained by City & Guilds despite the introduction of the QCF C&G 2357 Diploma. This particular Electrical qualification is perfect for those of you who do not currently work within the Electrical industry but who expect that in the future they will.

The structure of the course does not require work based assessments and everything that is required to complete the award can be done here at Able Skills.

This qualification is unlikely to be available at Further Education Colleges for adults as there is currently no funding available for it which makes it ideal for private training providers like Able Skills who do not draw down any form of Government funding.

Able Skills is offering this C&G 2330 at Level 2 on a fast track basis - 8 weeks on a full time basis.

The City & Guilds 2330 at level 2 will remain the recognised route into the electrical installation industry until the new QCF qualification finds its feet and will cover underpinning knowledge necessary for the industry.

It is suited to those of you wishing to gain in-depth technical knowledge as a route into the industry but equally, is also suitable for those of you already working in the electrical industry who require in-depth technical knowledge without completing an apprenticeship.

Level 2 is designed to provide and help develop regulation knowledge, practical skills and science required for electrical installation work; as the course progresses you will gain extensive knowledge of the theory of Electrics.

The course will also provide an understanding of the Health & Safety requirements governing electrical installation processes, and knowledge of the organisation and structure of the electrical industry within which these activities are carried out.

During this 8 weeks of intensive training - 50% of which is devoted to practical work - the 2330 Level 2 will provide all of the necessary foundation knowledge for entrants to undertake electrical work within Domestic, Industrial and Commercial premises.

Able Skills is open 7 days every week and we welcome visitors at all times. Please feel free to come along to view our facilities, have an informal chat with any one of our instructors and meet existing students.

We feel that this is an excellent introduction for anyone looking to invest in training and this option will help you decide if Able Skills is where you want to train.

Training Facilities and Staff

As these qualifications require both practical workshop tasks as well as classroom based theory, we can assure you that everything is in place to meet your requirements.

Our Electrical training centre has designated training areas and classrooms for each electrical course we offer. We have allocated computer suites so that all online exams can be undertaken in exam conditions, without disruption.

Our practical training bays are equipped with training boards set to exceed specific City & Guilds requirements and all tools and materials are readily available for all of your electrical requirements.

All tools and materials will be organised and made readily available for you as and when you need them. We are not restricted by budget controls and so there will never be a time when you cannot complete a practical task due to lack of materials or tools.

Able Skills employs a technician for the Electrical Centre called Steve who is a former Able Skills student and has undergone all of his Electrical training with us so he knows the course content and layout very well and will give you invaluable support. He ensures that the workshop area is fully equipped at all times which is especially important during times of assessment.

We are keen to make this industry qualification experience as real as it can be so we meet and exceed the requirements set by City & Guilds to guarantee that you will not gain as much knowledge or skill as you can at Able Skills at any FE College or other training provider.

You will have the support of all of Able Skills qualified instructors. Each instructor at Able Skills has the relevant trade experience as well as teaching and assessing awards in order to ensure that your entire course is carried out in full at Able Skills. This ensures that certification is immediate and without delay.

We will provide you with everything which is required to complete this C&G 2330 at level 2 and this will include the relevant reference books and a CK Tool Kit which is yours to keep once you have finished training.

We would recommend that you obtain a copy of IEE On-Site Guide and a scientific calculator and you will also need safety boots which all students are required to wear when working in the electrical workshops.

City & Guilds 2330 at level 2 is a formal trade qualification and meets industry requirements, it is therefore suited for progression within the Electrical industry but especially ideal for people who are looking to retrain and enter the electrical industry for the first time.
