High Demand for Electrical Installations Level 2 Course
Our Electrical Installation course is
extremely popular this year. Applications received after the 2nd of March 2026
will be placed on a waiting list. We will therefore not be conducting any more
interviews at this stage. Please email the Welcome Team at welcometeam@bpc.ac.uk should you require
further information or wish to be placed on the waiting list.
Because demand is high, we ask all applicants to choose a second option.
This helps ensure you can still join
a course in September if Electrical reaches capacity.
To become a fully qualified Electrician, candidates are required to complete the full Electrical Diploma. For those who do not have access to an employer or wish to gain an initial grading in the Electrical trade at the Level 2.
