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 studying for a Technical Certificate and Key Skills. 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 registration 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.
