Apologies for the delayed response. You can go to the niceic.org website to get contacts for all companies in your area. Contact as many as you can explaining the qualifications you have. Did you still need to do your NVQ? If so you can get in touch with us at [email protected] as a starting point for more details.

Hi apologies for the late response - there is never a bad time to go into electrical employment. However, you will be more employable the higher level of qualification you have.

hope i will get reply on this because every time i applied job there i was not been requited by any company

Hi, do you have any other qualifications such as an NVQ, AM2 or even a technical certificate? Please call our office on 0800 170 0294 to discuss your situation in further detail.

You're welcome - many thanks for the feedback 👍

How did you land your apprenticeship mate?

@ I basically just started to call company’s asking if they would want to take on an apprentice, I also gave my CV to many companies.

​@@Bre3zy07did you call local companies or big companies?

Hi, I would suggest starting to take photos of you carrying out any specific tasks on site. Make sure you are in the photos. For example - Pictures of you working on access equipment, pictures of risk assessments etc. If you want to look at some example photos go to our 2346 page - www.nvq2346.com

@@XSTrainingLtd great, thank you!

Hi, Please contact the team on [email protected] and we will look into this for you.

you should be able to.

Hi @cristianbreschigliaro9705, you can 100% get a job as an electrician's mate once achieving the level 2. Visit the NICIEC website, put in your post code and this will brill up all the company's round your area. Good luck.

Hi Adam, if the screwdriver is used just for situations where excessive screwing is required it is a time saver but I wouldn’t recommend it for intermittent smaller jobs. Cheers

Hi, starting from scratch with no experience it can take up to 2-3 years from start to finish for the full process. And yes, this would be recognised across Europe but you may need to take internal exams when you get to other countries outside Europe.Hope that helps.

@@XSTrainingLtd Great also help in the process looking for work which is needed to complete the qualification after level 2 and 3 ? Thanks

@@TheWanderer1111 Yes you're absolutely correct, being in a position to be working in the industry is essential after you gain your Level 2 & 3. If you ask your instructors whilst working on the initial qualification then they may be able to give you some ideas on how to do this.

Hi, you need to be on an NVQ to enable us to register you to the ECS and obtain a labourer / trainee card.

You're very welcome, we're glad it's helped you 😀

@@XSTrainingLtd if you have any more related videos doing the 2365 202 and struggling a little with the advance transposition

@@DMUKAdventures We do but these are within our online course I'm afraid. This video is just one of the Learning Outcomes in Unit 202 (as you'll be aware) to demonstrate the structure and detail of our Courses. You can find out more about our Level 2 Unit Courses on our website at www.xstraining.com/city-guilds-2365-level-2-diploma-in-electrical-installations/

Hi, Please contact the team on [email protected] and we will look into this for you.

No sorry, we just have the one Test & Training Centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Most of our Courses are Online but if there's a practical lesson within the qualification then that will usually take place here.

Please ask the centre if you are ok to do safe isolation in a safe manner and start on E - N. If they state you must start on L1 to L2 then go with what they wish. To be honest, as long you cover all 10 tests it doesn’t matter which way you do it. The way I show it is just good practice.

Have been working in the electrical industry but only in assembly for boards

Hi, to achieve your NVQ you need to be working in the trade so you can gain experience and evidence for your portfolio. Gaining electrical experience is key and the NVQ must not be rushed.

No it's not, you can start at Level 2 🙂

That’s if you failed your maths & english

Hi, thanks for your questions about our courses. The NVQ have three different price bands depending upon if you want to add the AM2 and Prep Course from the outset. You can find more about the NVQ 2357 qualification (inc. pricing) here - www.xstraining.com/nvq-2357-electrical-installation-course/ The AM2 Prep Course is available in two options - 14-day Access Only & a Full Year's access. You can find out more about this Course and the different price bands here - www.xstraining.com/online-am2-preparation-course/ Please do get in touch through the Contact details on our website if you have any further questions. Thank you

Ask as many questions as you can early on. Specifically on site where you will learn so much in such little time. If you don't ask the questions early, you miss vital information which leads to nothing else making sense. No question is a stupid question!!

Hi Kacey, thanks for the message. I have spoken to my colleagues and this can be done either externally and internally on site. However, the some AM2 centres prefer this to be done internally which I know is a bit fiddly. The only reason you would normally do it on the inside is to ensure the gland stays at the relative IP rating. Therefore, try do it internally. You wont fail if done as the video shows. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your kind words, much appreciated :-)

Hi Ethan, Thanks for your comment. You could class this as a short circuit and this is due to a "wrong connection"

Thank you for your comment. Please also be aware of any additional supplies, such as solar panels and battery storage.

Thank you for your comments. Yes we do a lot of our courses online with the addition of in-house sessions to bridge any concerns. Foe example, the 2391-52 Inspection and testing. You get 6 months access to the online content, then you come into centre for the 3 days of prep and exams. All the health and Safety etc can be done online prior to coming in. Contact me on 08001700294 if you need more info.

Electricians do get some stick for not being the tidiest on site. We believe, having a tidy working area highlights professionalism and care for your work.

No worries at all Mohamed. Hope it helps.

@dylanmckibbin8822 The full process is included in the full AM2 preparation course. Please sign onto our XS Training Academy and you can purchase the full course. Cheers

@wasswambowa8572 Can you be more specific? I am more than happy to do this with more info. Is this for the AM2? Is this into an isolator or motor? Thanks.

Yes is about AM2 SWA cable with gland for three phase socket installation

@@wasswambowa8572 The glanding process is included in the full course. Please sign onto our XS Training Academy and you can purchase the full course there. Cheers

any advice on the AM2, I am about to start practicing before booking, any tips mate?

Really appreciate your message. The AM2 preparation course is great for steadying the nerves and giving you the best chance of showing your skills off to NET. Well done for passing the AM2

@@XSTrainingLtd will do thank you, I've done my NVQ with you guys and you've been brilliant, you've made it straight forward, the ease of taking pictures and uploading them for the E Portfolio is a big plus, also you're assessors are very knowldgeable as well, I personaly had a good experience with you, it's a shame you're not in London, I would've went with you to do the AM2 and Pre training as well before the exam

Thanks James!

Thanks for the positive feedback Jimmy, much appreciated 👍

Hi Matthew, yes the spec will give you all the information. Cheers

@@XSTrainingLtd thanks for the reply! Got my AM2 tomorrow. Terrified 😂 but your videos have been a good help

@@matthewcampbell9956 You're welcome and thanks for the positive feedback about the videos. Best of luck for your AM2 tomorrow! 👍

All the best for your retake 🤞

Hi, this is on the specification of the AM2 practical assessment you will have to take.

Hi Levent, Zubar doesn't have access to answer this directly but, from memory, he didn't have these exact qualifications because he came to the UK with lots of practical experience within the industry and qualifications relevant to the countries he worked in which were acceptable to City & Guilds

Hi Joel apologies for the delayed response... Yes, there will be a wiring diagram to hand in the AM2 for the learner to follow step by step. Happy New Year and all the best for your AM2 when you come t take it!

Hi Monika, thanks for purchasing the AM2 Preparation course and thank you too for bringing this to our attention. Yes, a 4 core is required due to a change in spec and we will update the video in the course as soon as we possibly can. Many thanks once again Monika, much appreciated.
