Employability Centre

We have an Employability Centre at our Paddington Green Campus. It is a drop-in centre and if you are unemployed, looking for work and would like support in your job search we can help.

The centre is fully staffed by two tutors/advisers who provide information, advice help with CVs, application forms and job search. They also provide referral onto Employability and other programmes and assist with setting up job interviews.

About AM2

The Achievement Measurement 2 (AM2) is a 3-day, industry recognised, Practical Performance Assessment (PPA) Test that is conducted u nder nationally set controlled conditions.

The AM2 Test was designed to enable individuals to evidence craft competence in specific and defined subject areas that are directly associated with the duties and responsibilities required of a "competent electrician".

The candidate's underpinning subject knowledge and the relevant practical skills are assessed by a qualified competent registered AM2 examiner and the candidate is required to demonstrate that they are able to work safely and meet nationally accepted industry standards.
