Level 2 Certificate: Is a continuation of the Level 1 Certificate and is designed to give you the required level of understanding and knowledge to progress onto the Level 3 qualification and ultimately, to become a qualified Electrician.
This programme is delivered with a minimum of six hours of instruction per week, combining classroom learning with hands-on practical training. Students will complete a series of core modules designed to strengthen their understanding of electrical systems and installation practices. Topics include alternating current circuits, motors and control systems, electric lighting, conduit bending, cable installations, and grounding and bonding. The programme also focuses on practical skills such as conductor installation, cable tray systems, and circuit protection devices. Some topics may require additional instructional time to ensure students gain sufficient hands-on experience and technical competence.
Describes AC Circuits and explains how to apply Ohm’s Law to solve unknown circuit values.
Discusses AC and DC motors, including their components, circuits, and Connections.
Introduces the principles of human vision and the characteristics of light. It also covers different types of light sources and describes the operating characteristics and installation requirements of various lighting fixtures.
Focuses on how to make conduit bends, using mechanical, hydraulic, and electric benders.
Delves into how to size and install pull and junction boxes. It also looks at the various specialty enclosures including conduit bodies, FS and FD boxes and handholes
Discusses how to prepare conduit for conductors as well as how to set up and complete a cable pulling operation.
Covers the various types of cable trays, supports, and associated fittings. It also addresses how to determine the loads on a cable tray and calculate fill per NEC requirements.
Explains how to prepare cable ends for terminations and splices. It also looks at
how to train cable at termination points and describes crimping techniques.
Students who are NOT working in the field will be required to undertake an internship of a minimum of 540 hours. Those working would need to provide evidence from the supervisor of competence.
Look at the grounding and bonding requirements for NEC Article 250. It also focuses on how to size the main and system bonding jumpers as well as the grounding electrode conductor for the various AC systems.
Looks at the operating principles of circuit breakers and fuses and explains how to select and install overcurrent devices.
Describes the operating principles of contractors and relays, including both mechanical and solid-state devices. It also explains how to select and install relays and troubleshoot control circuits.
