- National Electrotechnical Training (NET) to offer End Point Assessments and Assessments of Occupational Competence for the electrotechnical industry; Assessment of AM2/AM2S/ AM2E AM2D.
Manages and develops End Point Assessments and Assessments of Occupational Competence for the electrotechnical industry.
The AM2 has been the means of independently assessing the occupational competence of electrical installation apprentices for more than 30 years. Following the introduction of the Electrotechnical Apprenticeship Standard, NET has developed a revised version of AM2 (AM2S) to form the End Point Assessment for the standard.
NET also developed and delivers the assessment of competence for the Electrotechnical and Domestic Electrician Experienced Worker Assessment and the end point assessment for the Domestic Electrician apprenticeship standard. https://www.ecscard.org.uk/. https://youtu.be/e8SveMUa2DY

Industry needs you!
- According to the government’s study, for the engineering sector to gain enough candidates to reduce the skill’s shortage, they would need around 186,000 skilled recruits each year until 2024.
- According to a report published in the Engineering UK 2016, employers are looking for a minimum of Level 3 qualification when considering filling engineering roles, with there now being a requirement for a rise in skill level to a Level 4 and above qualification. There is currently an annual shortfall of 29,000 people with Level 3 skills and 40,000 with Level 4+ skills.
- The demand for skilled Engineers is high, the salary companies are offering these workers represents this, and the demand has forced salaries to rise.
