FAQS

All Apprentices are now required to complete the AM2S as part of their Apprenticeship scheme. This will generally be booked and paid for by your Assessor College at the college you attend.

The AM2 assessment is an End Point Assessment which is produced and updated by an industry board which includes Employers of Electricians and Apprentices, Regulatory bodies of the industry and Educational bodies. The sole purpose of the assessment is to ensure that all trainees can achieve a bench mark standard before working as an unsupervised qualified electrician.

If you fail a section, then you will just be required to resit that section again and not the other sections that you passed. Have a look on this webpage above in the costs area for what the sections consist of.
