Electricians searching for the City and Guilds 2921-34 qualification are usually already comfortable with installation work and looking for the next specialist step, and the City & Guilds 2921-34 Level 3 Award in the Requirements for the Design and Installation of Domestic and Small Commercial Electric Vehicle Charging Installations is exactly that. Built for those who already hold a strong foundation in electrical installation, this EV charging design course focuses squarely on the standards, technical considerations and design principles behind EV charging equipment and its associated circuits, rather than hands-on installation itself.
Anyone still working to older wiring regulations should look at the City & Guilds 18th Edition 3-Day Course (2382-18) first, since current knowledge of BS 7671 underpins much of what's covered here. Delivered over two days, delegates work through the current IET Code of Practice and relevant sections of BS 7671, building a clearer understanding of different types of electric vehicle supply equipment, charging methods and installation scenarios across domestic and small commercial settings. This Level 3 award in EV charging installation also covers the extra considerations that come with designing EV charging circuits, from earthing and protection arrangements through to labelling, risk assessment and communication with supply authorities.
Successful completion leads to a recognised qualification that supports electricians looking to broaden their service offering to meet growing customer demand, and this domestic EV charging design course sits naturally alongside other technical CPD, including the City & Guilds PAT Testing 2377-77 Course and Solar PV training. It's also a natural next step for anyone who's already completed the City & Guilds (2919-01) EV Charging Point Installation Course (Domestic, Commercial & Industrial) and now wants this EV charging installation design training to build design-level expertise alongside practical installation skills.
Delegates must bring evidence of their qualifications to the training centre; without this, training cannot continue.
