Course Overview
The term AM2" refers to the Achievement Measurement 2 assessment, which is the final practical assessment in the UK for those pursuing a career as an electrician. It's a key part of the process to becoming a fully qualified electrician.
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.
Preparation Days
We also offer preparation days in our new refurbished preparation centre. This is not intended to teach skills but is designed to allow the candidate to fine tune existing skills and prepare for the assessment. This covers all aspects of the assessment including;
Inspection and testing
The use of permitted publications
Fault finding and recording information
A refresh on conduit if required for AM2S
This is intended to build confidence and prepare the candidates for the 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 AM2E is for experienced workers who are completing the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA).
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.
