Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment in Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Level 3 Award 603/4908/6

  • Course Overview

    This qualification is aimed at practicing electricians, electrical technicians and engineers with experience of electrical installations, and associated inspection and testing.

    Electric Vehicles have an important role to play in meeting air quality legislation and the UK’s commitment to climate change targets. For this reason, the UK government is actively supporting the switch to electric vehicles.

    This qualification has been updated in accordance with the changes to BS7671:2018 + A2:2022. During the review process it was identified that there are a number of anomalies between BS7671:2018+A2:2022 and the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installations (4th Edition). As BS7671 is the primary reference document and most recently reviewed this will take precedence over the Code of Practice. References will be updated accordingly when the 5th Edition of the Code of Practice has been launched.

     Learners will require a copy of BS7671:2018+A2:2022 along with a copy of the Code of Practice to undertake this qualification.

     The following updates have been made to the qualification documentation:
