What's involved in delivering this course?
To deliver International Vocational Qualifications (IVQs) you'll need to provide your learners with a suitable learning environment and the resources they need to complete the practical and theoretical aspects of the qualification. You will need qualified internal assessors.

For these City & Guilds courses in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you will need suitable electrical equipment and workshops.

Anyone can take the Level 2 qualification, but you must make sure all your learners can access the resources they need to complete it.

To find all the resource requirements for assessment and delivery, download the course handbooks from the centre documents section.

All learners who want to take the Level 3 or Level 5 qualifications must be employed in the electronic engineering industry. You must make sure they can access all the resources they need to complete the qualification.
