How do I become a qualified electrician?

The typical pathway starts with the Level 2 2365 Diploma in Electrical Installations, followed by the Level 3 2365 Diploma, then the NVQ Level 3 (2357) for on-site competence. You also need the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (2382) and must pass the AM2 assessment to achieve JIB Gold Card status and work independently.

What qualifications do I need to start electrical training?

No prior electrical experience or formal qualifications are required. Our courses are designed for complete beginners and career changers alike. Basic numeracy and literacy are helpful, but our tutors will support you from day one.

Do you offer payment plans for courses?

Yes. We offer flexible monthly payment plans on all courses, letting you spread the cost over 3–12 months. We also accept full upfront payment, employer-sponsored payments, and ELCAS funding for military personnel.

Where is your training centre located?

Our fully-equipped training centre is in Arnold, Nottingham (NG5 7ER), with dedicated practical workshops and real-world electrical installations. The centre is easily accessible from Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and Leeds.

Are your courses City & Guilds accredited?

Yes. We are an approved City & Guilds centre (Centre No. 009512) and all our electrical qualifications are City & Guilds accredited. We are also JIB-approved, meaning our courses are recognised across the industry for employment and registration purposes.

Course Overview

This intensive 4-day combined course covers both City & Guilds 2921-32 (Design and Quality Assurance) and 2921-33 (Installation and Maintenance) qualifications for largescale electric vehicle charging installations. Learn to work with medium-power rapid charging (50-90kW) and high-power charging systems (up to 350kW), including an introduction to Megawatt Charging System technology.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed for qualified electricians and electrical engineers who want to specialise in commercial and industrial-scale EV charging infrastructure. With the rapid expansion of the EV charging network across the UK, this qualification opens doors to work on motorway service stations, commercial fleet depots, and public rapid charging hubs.

What You Will Learn

The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, covering the complete lifecycle of largescale EV charging installations from initial design through to ongoing maintenance. You will learn to navigate the specific challenges of high-power charging systems, including thermal management, load balancing, and compliance with current regulations.

Assessment

Assessment consists of three components:

Design and QA written exam (90 minutes) - short-answer and scenario-based questions
Installation and Maintenance written exam (120 minutes) - short-answer and scenario-based questions
Design project (3 hours)

Certification

Upon successful completion, you will receive two City & Guilds certificates:

Level 3 Award in the Design and Quality Assurance of Largescale Electric Vehicle Charging Installations (2921-32)
Level 3 Award in the Installation and Maintenance of Largescale Electric Vehicle Charging Installations (2921-33)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 2921-34 and 2921-32/33?

2921-34 covers domestic and small commercial EV charging (up to 22kW), while 2921-32/33 covers largescale installations including rapid chargers (50-90kW) and high-power chargers (up to 350kW) used at motorway services and commercial sites.

Do I need 2921-34 before taking this course?

No, 2921-34 is not a prerequisite. However, having domestic EV charging experience is beneficial. You need a Level 3 electrical qualification as your entry requirement.

What qualifications do I receive?

You receive two separate City & Guilds certificates: 2921-32 (Design and Quality Assurance) and 2921-33 (Installation and Maintenance) of Largescale Electric Vehicle Charging Installations.

How is the course assessed?

Assessment includes three components: a 90-minute written exam on design/QA, a 120-minute written exam on installation/maintenance, and a 3-hour design project.

What reference materials do I need?

You will need the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (5th Edition), BS 7671:2018+A2:2022, and the IET guidance on EV Charging Installations at Filling Stations.
