EAL Level 2 Certificate in Electrical Maintenance Short Course (AUEC2-009)

This unit ensures that the student can develop the knowledge and skills required to complete a range of maintenance tasks. Unit aims to demonstrate that students are competent in being able to plan, prepare and perform for electrical maintenance activities. Students will plan activities in line with the HSE guidance and practices ensuring that all work taking place is done a correct safe manner.

Description

What you’ll learn

The student will be required to select the appropriate equipment to use, based on the maintenance operations to be carried out and the type of electrical equipment/systems being maintained. This will include electrical equipment that uses single, three-phase power supplies, and includes equipment such as control systems, motors and starters, switchgear and distribution panels alongside of, transformers, wiring enclosures and luminaires. Portable appliances and other specific electrical equipment such as protected devices are covered. Alongside of this Students will also gain core knowledge of basic electrical generation, transmission and distribution.

Students will be expected to use a variety of maintenance diagnostic techniques, procedures, such as gathering information from fault reports. Students will use the appropriate fault-finding techniques and diagnostic aids for a differing range of faults. Students will be expected to cover a range of maintenance activities starting with safe practices such as isolating and locking off and then disconnecting, removing and reconnecting electrical components, wires and cables, attaching cable identification markers, replacing damaged or defective components, cables and wires, setting and adjusting components, and making ‘off-load’ checks before testing the equipment, using appropriate techniques and procedures.

Who is this course for

This course is aimed at Engineers that have a base understanding of electrical principles and provides a further base to up skill, or for those wanting to gain foundational practical skills, from non-electrical roles needing to understand basic electrical maintenance and fault-finding on machinery and equipment.

How you’ll be assessed

Assessment is done through knowledge-based questions and products of work combined with observations. The learner will receive an EAL Level 2 certificate upon completion of the course.  

Prerequisites

There are no formal entry requirements for this course, however.

To ensure the safety of all participants and maintain the progression pace of the course, it is essential that candidates possess a baseline of "on-the-tool" experience.

This course is designed to formalise existing skills rather than teach basic manual dexterity from scratch.

 

  • Tool Proficiency: Competence with trade-specific hand tools, including side cutters, wire strippers, and various drive-tip screwdrivers.
  • Technical Literacy: Ability to identify harmonized wiring colours (Brown, Blue, Green/Yellow)
