Electrical Courses Ltd is a private training centre, specialising in Electrical Installation courses for anyone aspiring to become an Electrician and for already qualified Electricians looking to update or progress in their own skills and knowledge.
Electrical Courses Ltd was founded in May 2013 by Neil Phillips. Neil started the business after an enjoyable career as a Lecturer of Electrical Installation in Further Education Colleges. Neil felt there was a lack of training opportunities for Adults in the East Anglia area, who were looking to start a career as an Electrician, so he fulfilled a dream of his by opening Electrical Courses Ltd.
in 2017 April Alan Rogers joined the team as a senior lecturer and has ever since taught our students very successfully. Just like Neil Alan has been in the industry as an Electrician for many years and as a Lecturer of Electrical Installation in Further Education Colleges.
In March 2019 we expanded the business and opened up an AM2 assessment centre in Sawston, Cambridgeshire. Louis Polite joined our team in March 2019 as our main AM2/ AM2S and AM2E Assessor. In the past Louis worked with Neil and Alan in the local Further Education College as a Technician and Assessor. Louis has worked in the industry for 14 years which includes roles as an Electrical service engineer for the Commercial/Industrial sector.
In February 2023 Nigel Leadbeater joined the team. Nigel will be getting stuck into teaching different courses after his training. Nigel is an old student of ours who showed great commitment to his studies and work.
We are proud to also state that all of our teaching and assessing staff are JIB Approved Electricians.
Our aim is to offer all Electrical courses required in the Electrical Industry Nationally, such as the 18th edition course, seven day Inspection and Testing courses to the main Electrical Installation courses required to become a qualified Electrician.
As we also offer the AM2/ AM2S and AM2E assessment we are very proud of the fact that our centre is one of the very few centres in the UK where you can do your whole training from start to finish.

The content, structure and marking of the assessment is designed to evidence that a candidate has gained all the relevant safety critical competencies during their training process. AM2 provides a reliable and trusted guarantee of safe, high quality workmanship for the electrotechnical industry and is highly valued by employers, who regard it as evidence of competence for an electrician.
Why do you need the AM2 assessment?
AM2 assessment is the final unit of the electrical installation qualification
It ensures all qualifying installation electricians achieve a single standard that has been agreed by the employers in the industry as meeting their expectations from newly qualified personnel
What does the AM2 assessment consist of?
The AM2 is a practical assessment and includes 5 sections. The assessment requires the candidate to perform a set of common occupational procedures and tasks that fully qualified electrician might face in their jobs when working at industrial and commercial buildings as well as dwellings. The assessment is taken over a total of 16.5 hours.
On the assessment the candidates do timed tasks in equipped areas containing typical electrical installation wiring systems. The tasks include installation, fault-finding, inspection and testing. The work must comply with the current British Standard (BS7671: 2015) and meet with the requirements of relevant Health & Safety legislation and industry best practice.
The test is an industry recognised trade test that is controlled by the National Electrotechnical Training (NET) Organisation in conjunction with the Joint Industry Board (JIB) and Summit Skills who are currently the Sector Skills Council for the Electrotechnical Industry.
