Does the humble C&G-2391 syllabus need to be updated?
Qualifications Guide (June 2025) for EAS Appendix 4 - Mandatory Technical Competence Requirements by Work Category
Produced by The Electrotechnical Skills Partnership
on behalf of the EAS Management Committee
The EAL equivalents for the City & Guilds (C&G) 2391 qualification are the EAL 603/2625/6 Level 3 Award in Electrical Installation Inspection, Testing, Certification and Reporting (equivalent to C&G 2391-52) and the EAL Level 3 Awards in Initial Verification (4337/600/4337) and Periodic Inspection (4338/600/4338)
Both qualifications are accredited and recognised in the industry and the course material will remain the same for the duration
HOWEVER do they need a revision 2 or an update to possibly include some of the follow?
EV, PV, batteries, smart home technologies etc, no SPDs, AFDDs, bi-directional devices
OR
Does the C&G-2391 and EAL equviivlent need to be superseded in EAS much in the same way the 2330 has been superseded by the 2365, which is an updated version of the qualification?
I wonder how many Electrical tutors there are in FE colleges in the UK? Of those how many are fully qualified as an Electrician according to the EAS so that they are qualified to teach the courses? I suspect it is highly possible that some tutors may need to sit there AM2 and/or produce a NVQ portfolio.
As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate.
Come on everybody let’s help inspire the future.
