City and Guilds 2394-01 Level 3 Award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations

City and Guilds | Candidates: 6 | Duration: | £550.00 +VAT

 

The City & Guilds 2394 level 3 award is the replacement for City and Guilds 2392-10. In development for around 18 months, this qualification is now LIVE!

 

The City and Guilds 2394 qualification has been designed as a "replacement" for City and Guilds 2392-10 and is essentially seen as a "stepping stone" that culminates with City and Guilds 2391-10.

In truth, City and Guilds 2394-01 is not a "direct" replacement for City and Guilds 2392-10 but it shares many of the characteristics of the award apart from a series of practical assessments covering 3 phase supplies.

At Total Electrical Training, we have already delivered this important qualification and indeed, we have been deeply involved with the fine tuning of the award so that it is seen as a true test of the individuals skills and knowledge. We have a structured approach so that in the delivery of the "nuts and bolts" of the syllabus, we put you first so you receive not only extensive "hands on" training in our training centre that is equipped with the very latest training and testing rigs, but you will of course, be fully trained in all aspects of the award.

Please note that the award is "split" into 3 distinct units which all candidates MUST successfully complete in order to achieve the qualification: 

Unit 301: on line e-evolve examination         Unit 302: Written examination           Unit 303: Practical Assessment

 

City and Guilds 2394 is essentially aimed at practicing electricians who have not yet carried out any extensive inspection and testing since obtaining the 17th edition or perhaps since qualifying; or who require some update of their training before going on to other City & Guilds qualifications.

The qualification is also suitable for those with limited experience of initial verification and the inspection of electrical installations.

Although the course is principally designed for those who are already involved in the electrical industry, we suggest that those who are considering entering the industry, particularly from other engineering disciplines or who have been working in allied trades may find the course beneficial.

This award thoroughly prepares the delegate to undertake and understand the principles, practices and legislation for the initial verification of electrical installations

All City and Guilds 2394-01 written examinations are known as "dated entry" examinations. This means that there are a limited number of specific dates that City and Guilds releases throughout the year, when City and Guilds 2394-01 written examinations can take place. We do advise delegates who book a City and Guilds 2394 course, to check with us when the examination will take place - please be aware that after a certain "cut off" period, which is normally 6 weeks prior to the date of the actual examination, that delegates will be subject to a "late entry examination fee".

All written examination papers are marked by an appointed City and Guilds examiner, with results not normally available for around 8 to 10 weeks - any delays in marking written examination papers is generally outside of our control, however, we will advise you of your result by post and/or e mail as soon as we have been notified.


This course leads to a fully accredited level 3 qualification. At the moment, City and Guilds are only releasing a maximum of 5 examinations dates during 2012, however, this is subject to change at short notice.

Please note that the written examination is a "closed book" examination.

Delegates are required to have 1 copy of the following:

  • The 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations BS7671:2008
  • BS7671:2008 On site Guide
  • Guidance Note 3

All these books can be purchased from our website when you place your booking with us.

We will also be announcing further information regarding this and other award/courses very shortly.
