PEC2 Electrician Course Structure - Electrical Course

Electrical Training Course Features - Electrical Course PEC2

You need to have a good understanding of the principles behind the Electrical Course work you undertake in our workshops. That is why we include well over 300 hours of electrical course home study with tutor assisted technical support that may be undertaken at your own pace. 

That is also why before you to attend each of your Electrical Training workshop sessions, your tutor will have been satisfied that you have completed the home study Stage Assessments that prepare you for your next week in the Electrician Training Centre. The objective of the PEC2 Electrical Installation Engineer course is that not only will you gain your formal qualifications but you will also gain a solid grounding in the practical as well as the theoretical principles of an Electrician’s role. You will be grateful for this knowledge throughout your entire career.

Remember too that with the PEC2 Electrical Installation Engineer Training Course:

  • You will get only industry respected and recognised qualifications on your Electrical course
  • You will not have to give up your job to become qualified as an electrician
  • You will progress at your pace and transition to being a full-time Electrician when you are ready
  • Because this Electrical Training course covers Inspection Testing & Certification of 3-Phase and High Voltage (to 1000v) installations, you will have a wider range of employment opportunities

Practical Electrical Coursework in the Electrician Training Centre

The Electrical Course home study programme is complemented by four five day (Mon-Fri) weeks of practical electrical work in the Electrician Training Centre plus an additional day to prepare for and sit the theory examination for the C&G 2391. Each available week in the Electrician Training Centre may be selected around the student's commitments and may be booked following successful completion of the Stage Assessment papers (SA) within the home study module that prepares the student for the relevant week.

The SA's are used by tutors to evaluate student progress and their readiness for their next practical week in the Electrician Training Centre.

Following completion of their final practical week, students will be deemed to have completed the PEC2 Electrical Installation Engineer course. However they will still need to return to the workshop for a final day to prepare for and sit that evening, the theory examination that completes their C&G 2391 qualification.

The C&G 2391 theory examination is scheduled by the City & Guilds on six different (Thursday) date options throughout the year from 6.30pm to 9.00pm. Students may select the date that suits them. It is recommended that they do not sit the examination for a minimum of six months from commencement of employment.

It is in the student's interest that their tutor will decide if they are ready for examination either earlier or later. The scheduled date options will be advised at the time the final day is booked.

Chris - Electrician Training Course

On our website we have many testimonials from delighted students who have completed our PEC2 Electrical Training Course. Here is one which was posted to our site in November 2010.

Chris had been working in theatre, looking after shows for everyone from big-name household stars, through to tomorrow's new starlets. Even though it was a job he loved doing, eventually the demands of home life meant he had to stop doing all the long distance travel and time away from family.
