We work in partnership with Birmingham Electrical Training to support our apprentices through the scheme.
It takes up to 48 months to complete the apprenticeship. During this time, apprentices work on site, to gain practical skills and experience and attend college on a block-release basis for up to 12 weeks per year.
To qualify, apprentices must:
- Complete an NVQ logbook in order to achieve NVQ Level 3 in Electrotechnical Installations
- Pass all stages of the C&G 5357 knowledge units
- Pass the industry’s own practical performance assessment, the AM2S End Point Assessment
Upon successful completion of the C&G 5357, apprentices qualify to become JIB graded electricians.
Entry requirements:
GCSE Grades 4-9 or A*-C (or equivalent) in Mathematics and English

Am I guaranteed a job at the end of my apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a 3-way contract between training provider, employer and apprentice, once an apprentice qualifies, the contract comes to an end.
At UK Electrical we sit down with our apprentices before the end of their apprenticeship to make a plan for what happens next. More-often-than-not, we offer the apprentice a role as electrician within the business.
