What you’ll learn

What Is the Gold Card?

The JIB Gold Card, also known as the ECS Gold Card, is perhaps one of the most well-known requirements within the electrical industry. The JIB Gold Card is the highest standard card for installation electricians and is considered the industry benchmark for a fully qualified electrician.

Step 1 - City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365-02)

You will start with learning the fundamental requirements for undertaking an electrical installation as well as information relating to the structure and organisation of the electrical industry via the C&G 2365 Level 2.

Step 2 - 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (City & Guilds 2382-26)

You will also receive extended training to better understand and achieve the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations — C&G 2382-22. This qualification is a mandatory requirement for any Gold Card application.

Step 3 - City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365-03)

You will move on to more advanced information on the C&G 2365 Level 3, covering scientific principles, fault diagnosis and rectification, as well as receiving an abundance of knowledge on inspection and testing and installation design.

Step 4 - NVQ Level 3 in Electrotechnical Technology (City & Guilds 2357)

Once working in the industry, you build a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate on-site competence. The City and Guilds 2357 NVQ assesses the skills you learned during your electrical training and whilst on-site.

Step 5 - AM2 End-Point Assessment*

Achievement Measurement 2 — or AM2 — is an independent assessment designed to enable learners to demonstrate electrotechnical occupational competence. It is a practical assessment with a short online component, taken over 16.5 hours in total. You undertake a series of timed tasks working on standard wiring systems; the exercises include installation, inspection, testing and fault-finding.

*AM2 to be booked after NVQ completion at an additional cost (currently £1,062 inc vat)

Qualified Electrician

Once you’ve passed your AM2 your training is complete and you’ll be a qualified electrician.

The full timeline for this route is typically 18 to 24 months from enrolment to Gold Card, depending on how quickly you progress through each stage. The lengthier part of this route being the NVQ as tis is work based assessment and time can vary across candidates and availability of work.

How you’ll learn

You will achieve all of the qualifications within this package by receiving both practical and theory training as well as work-based assessments once you are employed within the industry. The required reading material for City & Guilds 2365 level 2 and 3 are included in the cost of this training package. Our facilities are second to none with good sized classrooms, lots of workshop areas with all the tools you will require for the practical aspects of the course and unlike many other training providers, we also have our own NET approved AM2 centre. You will have constant support from our fully qualified electrical assessors who give everything they have to ensure that you finish your training with Able Skills with a very high level of competency.

Additional info

This package of learning begins with a very structured pattern of learning allocating:

Full time option: 7 weeks for the C&G 2365 level 2, 1 week for the C&G 2382 and then 6 weeks for the C&G 2365 level 3.

Once you are working within the industry, you can then register for NVQ level 3 and start adding evidence to your allocated E-Portfolio and the work-based assessments can be arranged at any time you feel ready. This is an intensive package of learning, and some home-work will be set so if you feel that it would be better to locate yourself close to the training centre, Able Skills has accommodation that is available on a room only basis at £25 per night.
