Advanced Electrical Installation

Advanced Electrical Installation Apprenticeships normally last four years during which time you will attend our Training Centre or a College one day per week for 3 years, following a Technical Certificate course.  The remainder of your time will be spent with your employer on site carrying out electrical installation work. NWTC will monitor and assess your Apprenticeship progress on a regular basis to ensure you complete your National Vocational Qualification (N.V.Q) at Level 3, Technical Certificate, Key Skills and AM2 test, which will lead to a certificate of Advanced Apprenticeship and qualify you to be registered as an electrician.

During the apprenticeship the company which employs you would normally pay you a percentage of the skilled persons rate for each year of training.

• Health & Safety
