Practising operatives scheme
(NVQ3 for experienced electricians)

about the course:
This scheme is designed for people who are working in the electrical industry and, although competent, they do not hold an NVQ in Electrotechnical Services.

Successful completion of the scheme leads to NVQ Level 3 (installation or maintenance), which can be used to prove competence and gain an industry Skills Card.

The focus is on candidates proving what they can already do but by adding some training to the programme it can also be used to enhance knowledge and skills.

pre-requisites:

Candidates must be:
>	working in the industry

>	competent

>	able to provide evidence of current activities or work undertaken in the previous two years.

we would expect candidates to be over 25 years of age and to have gained at least 5 years’ experience in the industry. topics include:
Candidates are required to compile a portfolio of evidence to prove competence in various areas including:
>	safe site working
>	diagnosing and correcting faults
>	installing electrical wiring systems
>	inspecting, testing and commissioning

course duration:
Normally the scheme takes between 3 and 6 months to complete. The pace of this scheme very much depends on how quickly the candidate produces evidence so this timescale can be reduced or increased.

assessment:
An individual assessment programme is designed for each candidate depending on experience and the evidence available. Normally at least one on-site assessment is required. Occasionally the AM2 test is used to fill evidence gaps.
