You’ll be assessed in Level 3 Performance Units and must pass them all to complete the Experienced Worker qualification. These are:
To demonstrate that you can fully meet the skills performance requirements of each unit, you must provide evidence from a site of your work.
You will be assessed via a range of methods and an assessor will need to observe you at work on at least one occasion during the evidence gathering process.
Please note the Wiring Regulations and initial verification units aren’t examined within the 2346-03 – these are proxy units i.e. candidates need to take these separately and centres claim them as proxies to achieve the 2346-03.
Where cited legislation and regulations are not applicable (for example, where the qualification is being delivered outside of England) then substitutions applicable to the learner’s jurisdiction can be made.
The Experienced Worker qualification is an online training course, led by your own availability and time commitment. Alongside this, you’ll be looked after by our training team, with regular check-ins from your assigned assessor and two observations (one virtual and one face to face).
We suggest a minimum of 6-12 months to complete the qualification. However, your exact timeframe will depend on your unique circumstances with a maximum time limit of 18 months.
BS7671 18th Edition and Level 3 initial verification must be achieved before completing this qualification- these can be done with USG alongside the Experienced Worker or taken beforehand. 10% discount for these qualifications will be applied to candidates wishing to add these onto their booking. Candidates who already hold these qualifications must provide evidence to the centre on application.
Once all criteria are met, the final step to full competence is passing the AM2E assessment.
When qualified electricians achieve experienced worker status, it makes them more competitive in the job market. That means you're able to go for for higher-level positions, such as a master electrician or a supervisor role. Plus, using this as a step towards your gold card status means you'd be able to work on construction sites, making you even more desirable to employers.
With more qualifications, specialised skills, you have the opportunity to command higher wages or charge premium rates for your services.
If you plan to start their own business, having a range of qualifications can help build trust with potential clients and differentiate your services from competitors.
This industry recognised trade test essentially plugs any gaps in your portfolio, especially when it comes to the relevant safety critical competencies and ever-evolving health and safety regulations.
