EAL Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installation

For students aged 16-18 or 16-24 with an approved Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

The Level 2 course at Loughborough College is aimed at school leavers.

This one-year, full time course is ideal for those wanting to take the first steps towards becoming an electrician. You will spend your time equally between the workshops and the classroom, learning both the practical side of electrical installation whilst also studying the technical content of the course.

This programme of study is for one year and upon completion, you will be awarded a full Level 2 qualification in electrical installation. From here you will be eligible to find work as an electrician's assistant/mate or progress on to the Level 3 qualification.

This Diploma covers health and safety, electrical installation theory and technology, electrical installation methods, procedures and requirements, and electrical installation craft skills, as well as electrical science and principles.

Throughout the qualification, you will have the opportunity to utilise the IET On-Site Guide and also be introduced to how regulations, including BS 7671, affect electrical installation. The qualification covers standard circuits as described in the On-Site Guide.

• Grade 4 or above in English Language, Maths and Science and at least one other GCSE at grade 4.
