AM2E

---

 The AM2/E is the new assessment process to recognise occupational competence  for people who have been working as an electrician with over five years  experience but haven’t been able to complete an apprenticeship  or achieve an equivalent Level 3 vocational qualification.

It  replaces the JIB Mature Candidate Assessment and provides an improved,  standardised and transparent process for experienced workers to accredit  their skills. It’s been developed via an industry group comprising ECA,  JIB, NET, Unite, Certsure, ECS, NAPIT, City and Guilds and EAL.

 What does the AM2E assessment consist of?

The  AM2E is a practical assessment with a short online exam, comprised of  five timed sections over a total of 17.5 hours. The assessment requires  the candidate to perform a series of common occupational procedures  including installation, fault-finding, inspection and testing. 

• Section A1 - Safe Isolation & Risk Assessment - 45 mins
• Section A - Composite installation  - 10 hours
• Section B - Inspection, Testing and Certification - 3 h 30 min
• Section C - Safe Isolation (second isolation on 3 specific scenarios)- 30 mins
• Section D - Fault Diagnosis & Rectification - 2 hours
• Section E - On-line exam - 1 hour
