Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations (2365)

Your First Step to Becoming a Qualified Electrician

The City & Guilds 2365 Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations is the UK's most recognised entry-level electrical qualification. Whether you're changing careers, retraining, or already working in the industry without formal qualifications, this course gives you the theoretical foundation and practical skills to begin your journey as a qualified electrician.

Who Is This Course For?

• Career changers — No prior electrical experience required. Many of our learners come from completely different industries and successfully qualify.

• Industry workers without formal qualifications — If you're already working in electrical or construction but lack recognised credentials, this course formalises your knowledge and opens the door to ECS card eligibility.

• Employers upskilling their workforce — We work with companies across the UK who book this course for their employees. In-centre practical days can be scheduled flexibly around your business needs, on weekdays or weekends.

• Those seeking EWA eligibility — Completing Level 2 is a prerequisite for the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA) route, which may suit experienced workers who can demonstrate competence.

How the Course Works

This is a hybrid course combining flexible online theory with hands-on practical training at our Nottingham centre. Study the theory units at your own pace through our online learning platform — available 24/7 on desktop, or via our mobile app for iOS and Android, with no live sessions to attend. When you're ready, book your in-centre practical days at times that suit you.

In-Centre Training & Assessments

You'll need approximately 5 to 7 days at our training centre, depending on your existing practical skills. These sessions cover hands-on practical training — wiring, testing, and fault finding — as well as your practical and written assessments. We offer unlimited training days, so you can attend as many sessions as you need until you feel fully confident, at no additional cost.

In-centre days are available on both weekdays and weekends, giving you complete flexibility to fit training around work or other commitments. For employers booking multiple employees, we can arrange group sessions on dates that work for your team.

The course includes four multiple-choice exams which are normally taken at the centre. If you prefer, these can also be sat remotely with online invigilation for a small additional fee.

What You'll Learn

The course covers five core units: electrical science fundamentals, health and safety in electrical installations, wiring systems and enclosures, installing cables and circuits, and understanding the BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. You'll gain both the theoretical knowledge and practical competence that employers and industry bodies require.
