Why not Train to be an Electrician

The City & Guilds 2365 is the recognised course that starts you on your journey to become an electrician. We have traditionally delivered this as "blended learning" by studying at home and attending in the evenings over a two year period.

Alternatively you can complete both Levels 2 and 3 within 13 weeks by attending the centre full time Monday - Friday.

“The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations course 2382-18 is included in the 13 week block. “

Also on offer is a "combined" version where you attend the Centre for a two-week block for the practical assessments and then complete the theory side using blended learning from home. (It's up to you how long this takes!)

Please ring us for availability. Click here for contact details.

City and Guilds Level 3 Award in Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (2919-01)

Our new Electric Vehicle Charging Course is running regularly. We are partnered with ROLEC so candidates can gain Manufacturer Installer Status if they wish as well as the Accredited City and Guilds qualification. This also allows suitable candidates to make an application to undertake work with one of the government Grant Schemes. This area of technology is a huge growth area and with recent company tax break for electric vehicles you can expect a surge in enquiries to fit this equipment. Course details are here.

EAS Update

The EAS committee prepare a framework for use by Competent Person Schemes to assess candidates wishing to be part of a competent person scheme.

It has released significant updates to the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS) and Qualifications Guide, which will probably affect your business. You can read the specification here

From October 2026 you must ensure that any employed personnel working on EV, Solar, EESS (Battery) and micro wind installations are qualified in the given specialism. Furthermore, Electrical Installation Condition Reports will only be permitted to be undertaken by those qualified in this specialist area of work.

This is good news, in that it will put an end to unqualified installers working on complex installations and causing safety concerns, but it creates a significant challenge to anyone running an electrical business, since you will likely need to arrange for some of your staff to undertake training. You may also find that some experienced staff do not qualify to sit the assessments, since attendance on these courses is only permitted where learners have the required prerequisite qualifications.

Arena can support you in this transition providing training in Solar, Battery (EESS), Electric Vehicle Charging as well as Inspection and Testing. We also provide the experienced worker NVQ supporting individuals with lots of prior experience in achieving the relevant qualification to permit them undertaking further specialist CPD.

Don’t delay. Call us now. If you have a number of staff that need training we can look at bespoke dates and packages.

Proud to endorse the work of one of our tutors who has put together a FREE website that allows qualified electricians to advertise for temporary positions enabling trainees and electrical improvers the chance to gain experience and access to the industry. Don’t be shy, sign up now and see what opportunities arise. Click here to go directly to the website.

It’s all about team work here at Arena Training Centre focused on providing exceptional learning and assessment experiences. We are very proud of our hard earned reviews. Check out our reviews here and don’t forget our AM2 centre reviews here.

2391 Inspection & Testing courses are available!

The revised C&G 2391 qualification replaced the old 2394 and 2395. The exam is "open book" and you can take Guidance Note 3 into the computer room and sit a multi-choice exam. There are three versions of the qualification ; 2391-50 is for Initial Verification of new work ; 2391-51 is for Periodic Inspections and 2391-52 is the "combined" version which qualifies you for both aspects.
