Qualifications

C&G 2330 Technical Certificate Level 3

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for those wishing to follow a career in the Electrical Contracting industry. It builds upon the level 2 programme The City & Guilds Level 3 and the Electrotechnology qualification is designed to provide opportunities for candidates to gain accreditation for their individual level of understanding of the underpinning knowledge relevant to the appropriate related NVQ. The emphasis is on 'learning by doing', not on competence. For this reason candidates are required to complete a number of assignments to show their attainment of practical skills which in turn implies understanding of the theoretical knowledge required to complete a number of activities successfully.
