Get a solid grounding in the electro technical industry with the Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installation (Buildings and Structures). This course offers sound basic training for prospective electricians who need to know the techniques, technology, science and health and safety required for electrical installation work.

You learn the techniques, craft skills, technology and related science required for electrical installation work. You also cover the regulations and health and safety requirements governing electrical installation processes including knowledge of the organisation and structure of the industry within which these are carried out.

Units include:
- Health and Safety in Building Services Engineering
- Electrical Science
- Electrical Installations Technology
- Installation of wiring systems and enclosures
- Understand how to communicate with others in Building Services Engineering.

If you enrol without grade C or above in GCSE Mathematics and English you will be required to follow a GCSE or a functional skills programme to develop your skills further.

During the first five weeks initial assessments will take place to make sure you and the level of work are suitably matched. There will be written assignments and online exams for each of the units. Further assessment is by completing a number of major practical assignments in the College’s electrical workshops. They are carried out under exam conditions.
