Fancying a change in career or an alternative route into the electrical industry? This course is a fast track if you're looking to professionally carry out domestic electrical work.You’ll work through four modules to gain knowledge and practical skills in the latest wiring regulations, installing, testing and ensuring compliance of electrical installations, EV charge point installation and more!

What is a domestic installer?The City & Guilds 2365 Diploma in Electrical Installations (Levels 2 & 3) is designed specifically for new entrants who want to become qualified electricians but don’t yet have industry experience or an apprenticeship.
This course is ideal if you’re new to the electrical trade or looking for a career change, and want a recognised qualification that helps you enter the industry with confidence. No previous electrical experience is required for Level 2.
The 2365 provides a structured route into the trade, combining classroom learning, practical workshop training, and assessments. It is the only self-funded route currently available and supersedes any domestic installer qualifications that are no longer recognised for achieving full electrician status.
On completion of level 2 (2365-02), you can further your skills by enrolling onto the level 3 Diploma (2365-03) or move onto the level 3 NVQ portfolio, which, along with the AM2 assessment then allows you to apply for a Gold Card and qualified electrican status, enabling you to join a competent person scheme. You will be qualified to work in a variety of different areas of electrical installation including:
EV Charge Points
Interior Lighting
Underfloor Heating
Security Lighting
Smoke Alarms
Rewires
Fault Finding
Initial Verifications
CCTV Systems
Alarm Systems
Consumer Units
Electric Showers
Upon completion of a level 3 NVQ and AM2 assessment you can apply to join a CPS such as NAPIT or NICEIC, amongst others. A Competent Person Scheme (CPS) membership will allow you or your employees to self-certify that your work complies with the Building Regulations in England and Wales, saving you time and money when completing an installation.
The 2365 diploma combines classroom learning, practical workshop training, and assessments.
We are proud of our track record and how what we do affects the lives of everyone who trains with us.
Completed the DEI course along with 18th edition, 2391 and EV charging point installation. Having had no previous electrical experience, I found the course was pitched at a suitable level from which I could understand all that was being taught. The course content was delivered at the right pace for the audience and was constructed well to maximise learning potential.
I was recommend to do the domestic installer course with Universal Skills by another electrician who completed the course some years ago. I have not been disappointed. From the outset USG have been honest about the expectations of the course and what we have by the end of it. Nothing beats experience and that’s what I now need to go out and get having passed all the exams and practical tests as part of this set of City & Guilds qualification.
Over the period of the course I’ve received great guidance and support from Stefan especially during the Inspection and Testing course. Really pleased I got through with no issues and I thank you all for that. EV with Carl was slick and informative and again a worthwhile qualification delivered with plenty of detail.
