Who is it for?
The AM2 Assessment in its various forms (AM2 / AM2S / AM2S VERSION 1) is designed for electrical installation apprentices coming towards the end of their apprenticeship framework. The AM2E (AM2E (Exp) / AM2E VERSION 1.1) is for experienced workers who are completing the Experienced Worker Assessment (EWA).
By taking the AM2 exam you will demonstrate that you have a level of competence expected by the industry.

Entry Requirements
Candidates should possess the underpinning knowledge and practical skills in all of the assessment areas specified. The candidate self-assessment check list must be completed prior to undertaking the assessment. It is expected that candidates will be working towards a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Electrical Installation.
For the AM2E (Exp) Assessment / AM2E (Exp) Assessment VERSION 1.1, candidates must show evidence that they have already gained the Experienced Worker Qualification when booking the assessment. If your qualifications were achieved outside the UK, you can only take the AM2E as the final stage in the EWA process. You cannot take the AM2E on its own.
