An Electrical NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) Level 3, such as the City & Guilds 2357, is a work-based qualification that demonstrates a candidate's competence as an electrician. It's a crucial step for becoming a qualified electrician, often a prerequisite for obtaining an ECS Gold Card and JIB Grading. The NVQ is assessed through a combination of practical assessments, portfolio building (including witness testimonies, reflective accounts, and photographic evidence), and an AM2 assessment. The course is fully based in the workplace with a college assessor who will meet with you on site and review each unit with you. You can be employed or self employed to complete this qualification.
