Level 3 Electrotechnical Qualification (Installation) - Performance Units

The 5357-95 adult route enables experienced learners with the required underpinning knowledge to demonstrate occupational competence through evidence gathered from genuine electrical work in the workplace. 

PERFORMANCE UNITS

  • Apply Health, Safety and Environmental Considerations 

    Working safely, identifying hazards, applying control measures, following site procedures and meeting environmental responsibilities. 

  • Organise and Oversee the Work Environment 

    Planning the job, organising resources and the work area, coordinating with others, monitoring quality and progress, responding to site issues and maintaining relevant records.

    Preparing, terminating and connecting conductors and cables correctly, securely and without damage, using suitable tools and methods.

  • Inspect, Test and Commission Electrical Systems 

    Safely isolating, visually inspecting, selecting and using test instruments, completing tests in the correct sequence, interpreting results, completing certification and confirming whether the installation is safe to energise. 

  • Diagnose and Rectify Faults 

    Gathering fault information, assessing risks, using a logical diagnostic process, identifying and rectifying faults, retesting the system and recording the work completed. 

HOW COMPETENCE IS ASSESSED 

  • Workplace observations by a qualified assessor. 

  • Job evidence including photographs, records and certificates. 

  • Professional discussion and technical questioning. 

  • Witness testimony and supporting workplace documents.  

EVIDENCE MUST SHOW

  • Repeated competence across suitable real-work activities. 

  • Compliance with BS 7671, safe working procedures and job instructions. 

  • Independent planning, installation, termination, inspection and testing. 

  • Authentic evidence generated through the learner’s own work. 

THE FINAL PRACTICAL STEP: AM2

The relevant AM2 assessment is completed through National Electrotechnical Training (NET). It provides an independent, practical assessment of occupational competence and must be achieved alongside the qualification to complete the recognised pathway.
