The AM2EV1.1 Assessment is completed over three consecutive days and is divided into a number of assessment sections, each designed to test the knowledge, skills, and competence required of a qualified electrician.
During several of the practical assessment activities, candidates will be observed by an assessor while carrying out the tasks. Although this can feel daunting, it is a normal part of the assessment process and provides the assessor with the opportunity to evaluate safe working practices, technical ability, and overall competence. To help build confidence, candidates may find it beneficial to practise completing tasks while being observed by a colleague, supervisor, or mentor prior to attending the assessment. This can help candidates become more comfortable working under observation and better prepare them for the AM2 environment.
Candidates may wish to book onto the AM2E Refresher course before undertaking their assessment; however, attendance is entirely optional. The course is designed to provide a theory-based overview of the AM2 assessment process, helping candidates to understand the assessment requirements, expectations, and marking criteria, while building confidence ahead of their assessment.
