City & Guilds 2396 Design & Verification Assessments:
To achieve the 2396-01 Design qualification you will need to complete two assessments:
Unit 401 – 40 hour design project
You will be issued with a real life scenario around which you will design a full electrical installation. This will include full size layout drawings and installation specifications. You will start to develop this project during the course and will be required to submit it at a predetermined date. Course attendance is split so that you have time to learn the required skills, gain support from your tutor and then submit for an assessment decision.
Unit 402 – Written examination
City & Guilds make this exam available three times a year at set dates. On completion papers are sent to City & Guilds for marking and results may take up to 45 working days.The exam is always started at 6.30 pm on a Thursday evening:
