EAL Level 3 Electrotechnical Experienced Worker

Beau Associates now offers the  Experienced Worker Assessment to enable mature workers in the electrical industry to gain their Level 3 NVQ.

​

Code: 603/5982/1

​

This qualification is designed solely for individuals who have been working in the electrotechnical industry as a practicing electrician for a minimum of 5 years and possess specified knowledge, understanding, and competence as outlined in the skills scan (aligned to the level 3 electrotechnical apprenticeship qualification).

It forms part of the requirements for the Electrotechnical Experienced Worker Assessment, together with the AM2E (outside of the qualification), enabling the experienced worker to apply for an ECS Installation Electrician Gold Card. This qualification is not for new entrants to the electrotechnical industry, apprentices, or those who have completed an electrotechnical technical qualification with less than five years (full-time) relevant industry experience. This qualification covers the competencies involved with electrical installation and commissioning.  

The age range of this qualification is 19+, however, it is expected due to the five-year industry experience requirements learners will be significantly older.
