Level 2 Traineeship in Electrical

4 GCSEs grade D-G, including grade 'D' in maths and grade 'D' in English or equivalent.

Applicants that have not obtained the above grades but can demonstrate an equivalent level of experiential learning may also undertake a NI Traineeship through Accreditation for Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).  Suitability will also be determined following an assessment of your current level of literacy and numeracy. If you have not obtained the stated entry grades for maths & English, but your assessment determines that you have the potential to achieve a Level 2 Essential Skill in numeracy and/or literacy over the duration of the NI Traineeship, you may be enrolled as an ‘Introductory’ Trainee, following the same programme as those of the Full NI Traineeship except for Essential Skills.  

*Entry criteria is subject to change.

 Subjects studied will include:

• Health and Safety in Electrical Installation
• Electrical Installation Theory and Technology

You want to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence that will enable you to progress onto an Electrotechnical (electrical Installation) Apprenticeship Programme at Level 3.

The principles of electrical science, electrical installation technology, installation of wiring systems, electrical fault finding techniques and Health and Safety in the workplace.

Developing your wider skills:    as well as providing you with the technical skills and knowledge in your chosen area, the Traineeship will help you to develop a range of transversal skills that are important for employment including:   Problem solving, Teamwork, Communication, Time management, Entrepreneurship

Our state-of-the-art electrical workshops and very practical nature of the programme.

Project Based Learning will also be a key feature of Traineeships. ​This is a dynamic approach to learning in which you will explore real-world problems and challenges that have been developed with employers. With this type of active and engaged learning, you will be inspired to obtain a deeper knowledge of the subjects you are studying and develop a wide range of hands-on skills.

Successful completion of this course allows you to progress to the Level 3 qualification in Electrotechnical under the apprenticeship programme if you secure employment or alternatively to FE at Level 3.
