AM2 Refresher
The AM2 NVQ Level 3 Electrical Technical Refresher is a focused one-day programme designed to help electricians prepare for the AM2 Assessment.
Ideal for candidates who already have relevant Level 3 electrical knowledge and practical experience, this refresher course gives you the opportunity to revisit key skills, practise essential techniques and build confidence before undertaking your AM2.
Through practical workshop activities and guidance from experienced tutors, you will refresh the technical knowledge and practical skills you will need to demonstrate during the assessment.
The course focuses on key areas relevant to the AM2 Assessment, including:
- Electrical installation techniques
- Inspection and testing procedures
- Fault finding and diagnosis
- Safe isolation and safe working practices
- Correct use of electrical testing equipment
- Practical assessment preparation
- Common areas to consider when preparing for the AM2
The programme is designed as a refresher rather than initial electrical training, so you should already be confident in the core principles of electrical installation.

- AM2 Assessment
- Qualified Electrician status, subject to successful completion of all relevant requirements
- ECS Gold Card eligibility, subject to meeting the required
criteria
