Part-timeCourse information
As the UK drives toward a net-zero economy by 2050, decarbonising transport is a top priority. With transport being one of the largest contributors to CO2 emissions, electrification is critical.
By August 2024, there were over 1.1 million battery-electric cars on UK roads, reflecting a 71% increase in EV registrations from 2022 to 2023. The UK now has around 66,779 public charge points across 34,570 locations. However, to meet future demands, this number must rise to 500,000 by 2030.
The rapid expansion of EV charging infrastructure is driving an urgent need for a skilled workforce to install and maintain these systems safely and efficiently. It’s crucial to equip professionals with the necessary skills to meet the demand.
The purpose of this qualification is to cover the knowledge, understanding and skills required for the design, installation and maintenance of electrical energy storage systems (EESS). It follows the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems and industry guidance, together with the requirements of BS 7671. It will include a range of relevant outcomes covering statutory legislation applicable to EESS, the principles of batteries and EESS, how to specify and design EESS, installation, inspection and testing, and handover of an EESS and will be aligned with the MCS requirements.
These qualifications are intended for practicing electricians. Learners must hold one of the following:
• City & Guilds Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Installing Electrotechnical Systems and Equipment (Buildings, Structures and the Environment) (2357-13/91)
• City & Guilds Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Services (Electrical Maintenance) (2357-23/92)
