[@XSTrainingLtd]

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

Hi there, I've got my qualifications outside the uk, have an experience of 6 years plus in the field, however my Naric statement of comparability certificate is equivalent to RQF level 6 which is bachelor's degree in electrical and power engineering. I wish to do NVQ level 3 in Electrical engineering so as to become a full electrician can you give me more of inside please. I've also been a classroom teacher in a college and university in the the same field for over a period of 5 years plus.

Hi, do you think it is possible to get a job as an electrician mate with level 2 completed?

[@MarvylousTV]

you should be able to.

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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.

I've had a level 3 electrical installation certificate for a few years now 0 site experience what should I do to achieve the nvq?

[@kgdeacon2254]

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

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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.

How long does it take to get my license also will this be recognised all across Europe even out side Europe

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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.

[@TheWanderer1111]

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

[@XSTrainingLtd]

@@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.

[@justchillman104]

Im starting my apprenticeship in september at 16 any big tips/advice ahead of it

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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!!

[@Gav6661]

Do you have branch in Ireland ?

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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.

[@eastm479]

Is it essential to do a level 1 ?

[@XSTrainingLtd]

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