its a level 3 qual and although it says no previous knowledge needed it would help drastically if you did have at least 17th and some site knowledge it is the 2330 equivilant but by BTEC!!
it took me 17 months to complete.
im using it to allow me to do the HNC electrical Engineering which is a level 5 qual, just need to do the bridging maths course.
i would recommend it to any one but it is hard and you need to have time to put into it..!! failing that i have my Course work and i got two Merits and two Passes!!!
Yeah this course is hard, and you dont get the practical with it! but it is a way cheaper option than any other distance learning course out there. Under 500 quid if im right. The cheapest C&G equivalent i found was just under 2000 pound. And then college was way more expensive, that was gonna cost me over 6k just for c&g 2330 lvl 2 because i would be classed as an international student and would have to pay international fees.
The draw back of it being cheap is exactly as durham sparky says, it is hard and you do have to be disciplined.
The course is aimed at electrical installation and 3 of the units i know are units for the BTEC National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic engineering, which is the qualification for High Voltage craftsman
So academicaly its a good qualification and it is cheaper than the traditional course.
The BTEC Adv Diploma in Electrical Installation lvl 3 satisfies the technical certificate otherwise known as the underpinning knowledge for an NVQ and can be used to becoming an approved electrician.
So that means that you can use this qualification as an equivalent to the c&g 2330 one of the requirements that you will need to be an approved sparky.
You have 18 months to get the course completed and the course is structured in four units
Health and safety unit
Electrical Installation 1
Electrical Installation 2
Electrical Principles
The units are really comprehensive and you have to get your head around it. Although you do have a tutor u can contact online, and they are usually good at keeping in touch.
This is definately a course for those people with other commitments that keep them from going to college and who want a cheaper distance learning alternative. although it is comprehensive and you will have to be dedicated to get the assesments done.
But all this i know through research, and I am still going through it, so if anyone does take it up and they need help, then they can get in touch with me and ill be glad to help.
