The AM2 has provided an independent assessment of the occupational competence of electrical installation apprentices for more than 30 years. In recent years, the AM2S has become the updated version for learners undertaking the Apprenticeship Standard and the AM2E is for those undertaking the Electrotechnical Experienced Worker Assessment.
The assessments are compulsory for apprentices, adult trainees or upskilling workers who seek to gain industry recognised qualified status to demonstrate they have knowledge and competence in the following key areas:
Undertaking risk assessments for given circumstances
The interpretation of specifications, and diagrams
Safe isolation
Planning and preparing to install, terminate and connect identified wiring systems
Installing, terminating and connecting identified wiring systems
The inspection, testing and certification of an electrical installation
Fault diagnosis and recommend appropriate rectification
Understanding and application of procedures, industry recognised working practices and the requirements of statutory and non – statutory regulations relevant to the electrotechnical industry.
Readiness for AM2 assessment
We recommend that you use these checklists as a working document and carefully review each section, noting where further practical experience or knowledge is required.
If gaps are identified, additional training or experience is recommended before taking the assessment.
If you can’t confidently tick at least “Adequate” for every statement in terms of both Knowledge and Practical Experience, it’s unlikely that you are sufficiently prepared to pass the assessment. A checklist must be completed and uploaded as mandatory evidence when booking your AM2 so it is essential that one is completed. Please ensure you complete the correct checklist for your AM2 type, filling in the wrong checklist will result in your application with NET being declined.
If you are unsure which checklist is required please get in touch.
