AM2 Electrical

Trafford College has invested heavily in an AM2 Centre that has raised the standard of skilled electricians across the Greater Manchester and North-West region.

The National Electrotechnical Training (NET) approved facility is based at our Stretford campus and benefits from being installed with the latest equipment and is located just 5 minutes from the M60 with free on-site parking available.

Assessments Offered

We work with many colleges and training providers offering a high quality preparation and assessment process. Most of these providers complete their own apprenticeship training and then utilise our centre for the assessment.

AM2 Assessment

The AM2 should be taken by electrotechnical apprentices who are training against the Apprenticeship Framework, those undertaking the JIB Mature Candidate Assessment and those following the Level 3 NVQ who are not apprentices.

Apprentices who are enrolled onto the Apprenticeship Standard should undertake the AM2S assessment.

The best way to prepare for the AM2 is to use the resources available on the NET website:

Download the Readiness for Assessment Checklist which details everything you’ll need to do and ensure you’re confident in each area before you take the assessment.
Download the Pre-Assessment Manual for more help on how to prepare.
Watch the Top Tips Videos for hints and advice on each section of the assessment

A note about AM2 Prep Courses: As a licensed centre, we do not support, endorse or recommend any AM2 or AM2S prep courses. Providing you have been able to complete your Checklist with confidence that you have the skills and knowledge needed for each area of the assessment, the resources provided above will be sufficient for you to prepare.

AM2E Assessment

The AM2E is for experienced workers who are completing the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA).

It can only be taken once you have gained the Experienced Worker Qualification – you will have to supply proof of this qualification before you can book the assessment.

If you are considering taking the Experienced Worker Assessment please read this important notice.

If you have non-UK qualifications, you can only take the AM2E as the final step in the EWA process – it cannot be taken on a stand-alone basis. Please read the guidance on the ECS website.
