Access training Cardiff Electrician Course

[Jamie shefford]

I'm interested in Doing a Electrician Fast Track Course at Access Training, They said I could get a City and guilds Qualification Equivalent to a NVQ 3 and get a Gold card, I'm interested in working for a Agency I have Worked with doing Demolition, would I be able to Get Electrical Work After Doing this course, or is it Just a Scam, I have No Electrical Experience

Generally I think you have the right idea about being concerned about a fast track course. This is a route that many people have taken but it does not give you the qualifications to get a gold card or work on sites.
However the information you are mentioning about getting the 2365 and transferring to the 2357 to complete your NVQ3 is the most direct method to full qualification.
The training courses from access training that you mention essential, professional and premier are just providing a few basic add on qualifications with each level including more qualifications whilst repeating the training from the lower level courses. i.e you would only want to do one of these courses.
If you had done essential for instance you would then just take the additional training and exams to make it up to professional (C&G 2392 and 2395).

There is no mention on their website of doing the 2365 or 2357, which are key qualifications to allow you to get a gold card (and be employed as an electrician).

As Richard said, they don't offer the NVQ and the qualification you get will not be equivalent to an NVQ, neither will you get a gold card.
