Are your learners already working as an electrician but want to prove the level of skills and knowledge that they have? If they want to prove their worth then the NVQ in Electrotechnical Services might be for them. This qualification will help them prove their competence against the National Occupational Standards.

Who is it aimed at?

This qualification is aimed at practising electricians already working in the industry and wish to prove their skills and knowledge against the National Occupational Standards.
