This course provides an Introduction to Electrical Installation as a foundation for those wishing to move on to Electrical Installation, Full Scope or as a stand-alone for those wishing to gain a basic understanding or a CITB Defined Scope qualification. See introduction to this chapter for advice on which course is best for you.
The course provides an introduction to the Regulations, Electrical Theory, Electrical Safety, Instrumentation and Practical Installation.
More details for our electrical courses can be found on page 1 of the Engineering Course Booklet.
Although the ‘Introduction to Electrical Installation’ course will take beginners you will be expected to reach Defined Scope Level within a very short space of time. For this you will need a reasonable aptitude for electrical engineering and be numerate to level 2.
You will also need to do the pre-learning before attending; this is supplied to you via access to City and Guild’s SmartScreen. The details for access to C&G SmartScreen will be included with Joining Instructions.
- CITB Defined Scope (inc Building Regulations)
- Joint Industry Board (JIB) Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Health & Safety Assessment
Please Note: The Defined Scope assessment will only be formally taken by prior arrangement with the RTC as most students then move on to the Full Scope course.
This course provides the foundation for those wishing to work in the electrical industry and further training will be necessary to gain sufficient qualifications to do so.
