Achievement Measurement 2 (AM2)

The AM2 is compulsory for apprentices, adult trainees or upskilling workers who seek to gain industry recognised qualified status; raising overall safety and skill levels and ensuring that candidates from various routes have the skills employers need.

The purpose of the AM2 is to ensure 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. The content, structure and marking of the assessment is designed to produce evidence that a candidate has gained all the relevant safety critical competencies during their training process. Assessment Centre’s are not accessible for training purposes and NET licensed assessors are not involved in the training or development of candidates. Accordingly, the AM2 provides a reliable and trusted independent assessment of safe, high quality standards for the electrical installation industry and is highly valued by employers, who regard it as proof of competence for an electrician.

As an apprentice the AM2 would be the final unit to enable qualified electrician status. For adult trainees and upskilling workers the AM2 in addition to an NVQ Level 3 and Electrical installation qualifications allow you to be registered and practice as a fully qualified electrician. Further progression in industry would be enhanced with this qualification and individuals may also progress to the IET Wiring Regulations and Inspection and Testing courses.
