Qualifications I need to pursue

[AnthonyFWilson]

Hi,


I've had a search around the forum in-regards to qualifications that electricians have and the majority is C&G. I'm currently doing: 'Diploma in Engineering Technology - Electrical (QCF) - EMTA - L2 - LR' and 'NVQ Diploma in Performing Engineering Operations - Electrical (QCF) - EMTA - L2 - LR', both of which will be completed come June/July. With the college I'm in the next step is level three, I assume the PEO course, this has to be done on-site in an apprenticeship I gather? I will then have to complete 'Certificate in the Requirements for Electrical Installations - 17th Edition - 2382-10' then the AM2? Are the PEO's alike the C&G, would I be a qualified electrician if I had the aforementioned qualifications?

Thanks!

I can explain all of this to you, but before i try, i need to what you want to achieve by doing them. eg, do you want to be an apprentice trained Electrical Engineer, or do you just want to get some formal qualifications.

PM me, and tell me your age, and current qualifications, current occupation or are you still at school etc. With this info, i can better help you.

Cheers..............Howard

I cannot PM you unfortunately due to my insufficient post count. I'm wanting to become an apprentice training electrical engineer; that's the aim. I'm 17 and don't have engineering based qualifications as of yet, just GCSE's, BTEC's in ICT etc. I'm currently in college doing the following courses, Diploma in Engineering Technology - Electrical (QCF) - EMTA - L2 - LR' and 'NVQ Diploma in Performing Engineering Operations - Electrical (QCF) - EMTA - L2 - LR', both of which will be completed come June/July. I need to know what I need after that in terms of qualifications.
