The PEC2 electrician course is perfect for someone who wants to change career and become a professional Electrician. You do not need any prior qualifications to enrol and the PEC2 Electrician Training Course may be undertaken on either a full or part time basis, so you can remain in full time employment while you train as an electrician.

PEC2 Electrical Installation Engineer Course

The Electrical Installation Engineer PEC2 course includes ALL the following industry qualifications to ensure you are more than legally qualified for your new career as a professional Electrician.

  • Periodic Inspection Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations Level 3
    City & Guilds 2395-01 (Updated replacement of the C&G 2391 which is phased out from mid 2012 onwards)
  • The 17th Edition of the Institute of Electrical Engineers Wiring Regulations Level 3
    City & Guilds 2382
  • Electrical Portable Appliance Testing Level 3
    City & Guilds 2377
  • Domestic Installer Certificate - Full Scope (for Part P certification)
  • Essential Electrics - CITB
  • Appointed Persons First Aid
  • CSCS Site Safety Card

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE on the Level 3 C&G 2395: Many Electrician Training Course providers do not offer the C&G 2395 Electrician Qualification because it is a difficult and expensive Electrical Qualification to deliver. We include it in our PEC2 Electrician Training course because not only does it increase your status as a professional electrician it also enables additional work opportunities.

Instead of offering the Level 3 C&G 2395 many Electrician Training Course providers only offer the Level 2 C&G 2392 which is an intermediate qualification that sits between the C&G 2382 and the C&G 2395. The C&G 2392 has a very limited scope compared to the C&G 2395.  Holders of the C&G 2392 are only permitted to certify their own new domestic installations.
 
However, holders of the  Level 3 C&G 2395 can carry out Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of ALL domestic installations irrespective of how old they are and irrespective of who installed them. This is a major advantage of the Level 3 C&G 2395 which enables significantly more work opportunities as well as significantly increased industry status.

In addition, holders of the Level 3 C&G 2395 are also able to conduct commercial Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of 3-Phase installations and installations up to 1000v. This is yet another major advantage of the C&G 2395 which provides even more work opportunities.

What work can I do when I have completed this Electrician Training Course?


The PEC2 Electrician Training Course will enable you to gain the industry standard qualifications that will make you attractive to employers or enable you to run your own business. It will legally qualify you to undertake a wide range of electrical works including the following but it is your responsibility to ensure that the course qualifications are appropriate for the type and location of the work you wish to undertake:- 

  • In the Commercial and Industrial sectors you will be fully qualified to undertake Inspection, Testing and Certification work on installations up to 1,000v. as well as on 3-Phase Installations.
  • In the Corporate Sector, you will be fully qualified to undertake Portable Appliance Testing work i.e. generally speaking anything with a plug! You can either do this type of work exclusively or simply as a complement to your other work.
  • In the Domestic and New Build Sectors you will be fully qualified to completely gut a house of all its wiring including the Consumer Unit. You can then re-wire the house from scratch and replace the Consumer Unit if necessary.
  • There is no difference between wiring houses from scratch and wiring houses on a new build development so you will not be surprised to learn that you will be fully qualified to do this too!
  • Any other wiring in a domestic dwelling will be within the legal scope of your Electrician Course qualifications.
  • Under Part P of the building regulations someone has to certify 'notifiable' work to be compliant with the current regulations. You will be qualified to certify your own work and work that you had personally supervised and issue the required compliance certificates.
  • IMPORTANT: Because you will be a holder of the Level 3 C&G 2395, together with the other Electrician Course qualifications on the PEC2 Elecrician's course you will be legally qualified to certify not just your own work but also other peoples work that you had never previously seen and or never supervised. You will be able to inspect and certify work that is both new and existing for example you would be able to inspect and certify work that had been completed just this morning as well as work that had been completed 50 years ago! Holding the C&G 2395 will also enable you to do commercial Periodic Inspection Testing and Certification of 3-Phase installations and installations up to 1000v.

    These additional capabilities are VERY important because they enable you to undertake a much wider range of work that individually or together can provide greater earnings potential and enhance your credibility as a professional electrician. Note that if you wish to work self employed and carry out notifiable work, you will first need to register with one of the Part P registration providers such as the NICEIC.
